Child Taking Breast Milk Only, Diarrhea On Having Formula Milk. Is Nido Safe?
Hi doctor, I have a 10 month old daughter who only takes breast milk . When she was younger I tried to feed her formula but she was not taking it and when she did take a little she would get diarrhea . Unfortunately I might be going back to work and now I m worried how she s going to eat because she absolutely will not take my breast milk in a bottle unless she s eating from me. I ve been asking for advise and they tell me to give her nido Will that be safe for her at this age?

Hi
You can continue your breast milk till 2 years of age and from 6 months of age you can start complimentary solid feeding . So whenever you there with baby give breast feeding and you can plan to give complimentary feeding like cerelac in your absence and whenever you come from home you can give breastfeeding. Or you can take the child to your work place and you can keep the child in Baby Care Centre and in between you can feed the baby.
