First three assumptions are bunk,totally old wive's tales.
Ideally breastmilk is the best,but if forced to give top milk feeds,use ONLY formula.
Start solids at 6 months of age,and give water only then.
Urine is always yellower in summers,due to more fluid loss by sweating.
Just ensure giving feeds on demand and maintain strict hygiene in preparation and giving of top milk feeds using a spoon and katori,preferably.
