Hello
Thanks for writing to us with your health concern.
Try and motivate your wife to breastfeed her.
You can engage the services of a good lactation consultant to establish good breastfeeding routine.
IDeally the baby should be breastfed exclusively for the first 6 months.
Else, even formula like Lactodex Premium 1 can be given.
Many babies are fed formula milk for the first 6 months exclusively for various reasons.
Other diet / additional food should be started only after she crosses 6 months.
Do not worry, as even formula milk can provide her the necessary nutrients.
Of course, it is not superior to breastfeeding.
Take care.
