How Often Should An Infant Be Breast Fed After Starting Solid Food?
Hi
My baby i 7months and 10 days old ,we have start her on semi solid like purees, rice and wheat cereals. Want to know in such case how many time do we need to give breastfeeding or formula milk in a day ...i think she is underweight and even her height has not increased much .

Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
You can feed the child with breast feeds as per the demand of the kid and your convenience.
And continue the duration of feeding till the child wants to take.
On average 6 to 8 feeds are sufficient in a 24 hour period and the number of feeds may vary from one to another child.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
