Thank you for asking querry.
As the age of baby is 5 months you can start liquid weaning foods for baby like dalia,purees of patato.
Cows milk can be given to the baby undiluted.
Also you can express your milk and keep it at room temp. for 4-6 hours and can be fed to baby within 6 hrs with spoon and katori.
Hope you find this helpful.
