Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day
Its very important to exclusively breast feed till 6 months of age.
Offering external feeds in for of juices can drive the baby away from sucking at breast.
Do not offer anything other than breast feeding. Let the feeding be on demand , let the baby demand whenever it wants to feed.
In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.
Wishing you happy and healthy life
Take Care
