Hi, exclusive breast feeding till the age of 6 months is a standard guideline. Since you are working woman and not possible for you to do so, you can start the child on Amul tetrapack milk. But its absolutely not advised to dilute the milk before giving. That will affect the childs nutrition and health. Also take care that you give him in clean and washed equpments as the chances of bacterial diarrhoea is very high with use of packaged milk. Also boil the milk, let it cool down and then give your child to drink.
