Hallo . Thank you for posting your question . Congrates as you really took good care of her . I can guide you for weaning from milk . Ideal age - atleast 4 months of corrected age means 4 months after your due date of delivery . Generally we advice less salt preperations , once a day for 4 weeks . 1st week - dal water. 2nd weeek - rice water . 3rd week - vegetable water . 4th week - juice . start with 1-2 spoon on day one then gradually increase the amount she tolerate . Hope I have answered your query . For furthur questions , please contact .
