Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Breast feeding may be continued till the age of one year, but it has to be supplimented with rice cereal mixtures as exclusive breast feeding does not provide required nutrition.
Consult pediatrician regarding dietary advice as the child's weight is not up to the mark.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
