My little one is 2 years and 2 months old, and I'm thinking about starting Junior Horlicks Stage 1. I'm unsure what the right age is since I noticed that both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 packs mention not giving it to children under 2 years old, but there's no more detailed age info. Could you help me with when might be a good time to start?

I'm really worried because my wife started taking Cabgolin 0.25 mg to stop breastfeeding our daughter, but now our little one isn't feeling well and is really upset, constantly asking for breast milk. We couldn't do much else, so my wife ended up breastfeeding her again. Is this going to be harmful to our daughter?

usually there are no such complications no need to worry
