Please don't give your baby any form of animal milk. It's very difficult to digest for the baby and will cause problems like diarrhea. Breast milk is best for the baby but if you can't give that you can opt for formula milk. Don't give your baby water or anything else till your baby is 6 months of age. After 6 months you can start liquid diet in form of liquified daal, porridge, etc which you can slowly shift to semi solid and then solid diet.

Next Steps

shift to formula feed if breastfeeding is not possible give formula feed with katori and spoon( never use bottle) mother should take lots of fluid and nutritious diet for increasing breast milk. also allow the baby to breast feed always before giving formula feed, it will increase breast milk production.

Health Tips

don't give animal milk don't give any other liquid or solid food items till 6 months of age.
