Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
Breast feeding is ideal for babies and your baby should be exclusively breast fed till the age of 6 months. Solid foods can be introduced at 6 months of age. Breast feeding prevents infections and is ideal for the brain growth. So please breast feed your baby.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
