How Often Should I Breast Feed My Child Along With Other Food Items?
Hi,
My baby has turned 6 months and I have been giving her Cerelac Rice for a month. Tried banana but she developed severe constipation. She takes veg soup during the day. What other food/ fruits can I give and how many servings in a day ? Also, how often should i breastfeed with all this food?
Thanks

Hello thanx for using hcm,
As your baby has turned 6 months old now.you can give some other home foods like gruel made of rice and dal, broken wheat,semolina cooked as semi liquid , fresh juice , vegetable soup.Always use boiled water in making feeds. Maintain hygeine while feeding,dont over feed the child.
THE MOST IMPORTANT DONT STOP MILK.
