Hi,
My son sudhanva is now 2months old & he is both breast & formula feeding. Can any one tell me what is the approximate amount of milk they take per day. I give him 60% of breast milk & 40% of formula. From when can i start giving him Solid food like gerber, even though Pediatricians here say many things i dont want to reply on them completely.
Thanks

dont worry abt shots. u will be asked to give tylenol drops to ur kid. give that 2-3 times a day. he will be alright. they will be drowsy or cranky for this first set of shots only. after that they will be normal.

regarding milk intake, my son used to have 3-4 oz of breastmilk/formula at his 2nd month. but, every baby is diff. ur kid will let u know how much he needs.

love,

U should not start giving your baby solid food or anything apart from milk before the age of four mknths. infact if u r breast feeding u can delay solid food to six months. the digestive system and swallowing capacity of babies dont develop before this age, so it will be like torture for him.

as for the quantity of milk, u shold be giving him as much he wants, but develop a pattern, say every two hours.

best of luck!
i have a eight months old son and live in delhi! tell me more about u!
