###Human: Can mixed feeding be given to a new born? ###Assistant: Hello. Please note that a child may cry either because he is hungry, has passed urine or stool, or wants to seek attention. Take note of the same. Other than that whatever you have described is normal and it persists till the age of six months. Hence do not worry. Giving water is not required as milk already contains water. However, giving boiled and cooled clean water is harmless. You can mix feeds and give. It is not an issue.
