Please suggest solution for us. My wife is still breastfeeding to my son. She is having thyroid problem so is it better to stop breast milk? As part of breakfast we give him 1 apple ,4-5 almonds,milk by making paste in mixer. And  mashed boiled white egg 4-5 times per week. For meals (3 times) we feed him with rice spinach chana dal and tur dal daily finely coocked in cooker Sometimes we add ghee Sometimes We add curries also whatever we make. We feed non veg like chicken, mutton, fish to him by mixing in his meals weekly twice.
