As your baby crosses 4 months, you can start giving liquids other than milk. Vitamin D is suggested as a supplement along with breastfeeding. However you can consult a nutritionist or a child specialist to be more sure. :)

Hi ... u can give calcium, multi vitamin and iron supplements. .. if the baby weighs less than average weight during birth then it is recommended to give iron supplements from 6th week of birth and if baby weighs normal in that case start iron supplement after 4th month. . As far as multi vitamin is concerned it has to b given til baby turns one.

I am using Himami's baby oil for my 5 month old baby. I am pretty happy with it. It has 2-3 oils including almond oil plus real kesar.
