My baby is four months old; should i stop his breast feeding?

HELLO! ALL@!

there had been lots of controversies and misconceptions flouted by quack doctors;
regarding the breastfeeding duration and time of starting complementary feeding.

Now read this carefully!
Mothers milk is THE only best for baby; till only six months;
after six months; babies growth needs warrant introduction of variety of calorie and enriched diet
in baby's food.
So, as your baby is just four months, give EXCLUSIVE BREAST FEED TILL SIX MONTHS OF AGE.

why cant i switch to top feeds?

you shouldn't switch to top feed because almost always they are not required for your baby.
Even though they claim of having a balanced diet, baby is in need of some natural
immunity which will protect the baby from various infections and also will selectively help in
growth and development of specific organs; especially brain. Only mothers milk can provide that.

But why cant i give cow's milk now?

You can give anything; but you shouldn't unless advised by your doctor.
Remember, Cow's milk is meant for cow's baby; so its usefulness in definitely there for the calves
not human babies.
In fact, in someway it can harm your baby; like the sugar, fat, phosphorus content and the calcium content in cow's milk
isnt suitable for human baby.
In addition, it needs to be taken boiled, which will hamper some nutrients mainly whey proteins.
Also, the available milk may be skimmed, processed, contaminated or adulterated., hence not always safe;
so better go for natural clean and aseptic milk.

But i find it difficult to feed him; as i also have to go for job......

yeah! you can go for your work, i will explain in details how baby can be managed at home with your milk;
when you are at work; in next blog /post.c
