Breast milk is the easiest, safest, cheapest and most nutritious baby food. Nothing can substitute breast milk unless other than inevitable. According to Ayurveda breast milk has all the nutrients essential for optimum growth of baby. If breast milk is not sufficient Ayurveda suggests use of goat’s milk instead.
