Exclusive breastfeeding till 6 months and gradual wearing thereafter. Weaning definitely increases weight. Breastfeeding should be continued at least till 2 years.

Hi. Baby should be given exclusive breast feed till 6 months after 6 months we should start complimentary feeds. Our aim should be that baby should take all the home based food by one year of age. Breast feeding should be continued till 2 years of age. The complimentary feeds at six months should be semiliquid and bland and gradually we should increase the consistency and introduce different tastes.
