Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Ideally exclusive breast feeding is the best method of feeding a 3 months old child.
If breast feeding is not possible or insufficient, you can give formula milk stage 1.
Stop rice cereal as it has to be started from the age of 6 moths.
Weaning food has to be started from 6 months onwards.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
