Your newborn should be held by the mother as soon as it is born, and straight away be offered to nurse. Keep trying, nursing is hard for some people, but you and the baby will learn. The newborn needs the colustrum that the mothers body produces during the first few days of the babys life.
The baby DOES NOT need rice, formula, or any other food for 6 months or longer.

you may start introducing foods by the age of 6 months if you are breastfeeding. be careful with what you select though, you must introduce foods one at a time to rule out any allergies.
