Abstract

In Ayurveda the word used for the babies who drink only milk is “ ksheerap” and the one who drinks milk  and eats solids is called as “ksheer-annad”. According to different authors, the age group of ksheerap and  Ksheer-annad is different. Since the baby is only fed with milk initially, it becomes a prime issue as to  what kind of milk must be given. Amongst the all, the mother’s milk is considered as the best, but here in  this article the importance of mothers milk along with its substitute have been mentioned.
