Hello,
Usually up to 6 months of age child does not require anything else than breast milk.
You have not mentioned anything about breastfeeding or why your doctor prescribed those medicines, otherwise it will be helpful to comment on that also.
My advises are as follows:
1. If you are breastfeeding your child then continue EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING till the age of 6. Child does not require anything else, not even water.
2. After the age of 6 months add some mashed fruits, other diluted milk and mashed boiled vegetables in the quantity of 1.5 small bowl 3 times a day. You can continue this diet till the age of 1 year. If you are still breastfeeding then give it as much as child wants.
3. After that quantity of food increases to 2 small bowl and frequency to 5 times daily. Continue this till the age of 2 years.
4. After 2 years of age give the food that you are making for other family members 3 times a day and make sure that child finishes what you give her.
Hopes this helps you.
Thanking you.
