Dermatologist,  's  Response
The maternal lactancy is indicated at least for 6 months. After that period of time, you can give to your baby, new food. Like soup and some vegetables. Then you keep doing it for the next month and you can add a protein (chicken) from 7 months onward. Fruits as apple, pear are indicated too. Egg 1 year onwards.
