Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi. I presume you are still giving mother's milk to your baby. If not continue to give as long as possible. Formula milk is only needed when you don't have enough milk. Nan pro is superior but also costlier than Lactogen.
As far as other foods are concerned, usually a child needs to be given around 6 times a day(depending on the child's intake) . You can give porridges, rice with dal, idli, vegetable soups, fruit juices and boiled fruits like apple. Avoid sugar as much as possible. Can add ghee to the food. This is presuming that you are from India. If not most of what I said applies except certain food items I mentioned. All preparations made at home cleanly are best for the child.
Non veg like egg, chicken soup can be started after nine months. Packet or bottle milk can be started after 1 yr.
