Hi Preethi, I hv also done exclusive breastfeeding for six months & still continuing with solid & semi solid food. By god's grace I had good flow of milk so there was no need for formula milk. If u also have good flow of milk & ur baby is satisfied, then there's no need for formula milk or even a drop of water. Provided u feed d baby frequently as with every pee & poop their stomach gets empty. If there's some issue with the milk flow then definitely u have to give formula milk with doctor's suggestion. Try not to feed with bottle, go with the old method, bowl & spoon. Happy motherhood!!

Shruthi, mine one 9 mnths old & it's same here. He'll get adequate sleep during day & at night he's full of energy. But it's not the same with every child. Try playing white noise it helped me. Let him play & get tired, he'll sleep on his own & it'll go with the time.
