Below the age of 6 months babies should not be given anything except milk, as intestines are not mature enough to digest food. Please don’t experiment on your baby.

Monitor the weight first. If he is gaining good weight and not hungry after breast feeds, do not start formula. Mother's milk is best milk. Start stage 1 formula only if poor weight gain or reduced urine output to less than 6 times/day or dark coloured urine.

No food or cow milk or water till 6 months. If your milk is less, give formula milk.
