Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can start weaning but start with some foods or juices along with breast feeding.
You can give him fresh orange juice, apple juice, mashed potatoes, mashed apple, wheat and milk and any artificial milk.
You can check his growth rate by wieght and development milestones.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
