Leave those out. On the other tithis (moon days) the feeding is good. Use a good weekday and a moving, fixed, soft or quick star. The 8th house should be good.
Simple meaning: Do the feeding on a good weekday and a good star, with a clean 8th house.
दशमे शुद्धिसंयुक्ते शुभलग्ने शुभांशके ।
A good rising sign, a clean 10th house and a good planet joined or looking at it help this rite.
त्रिषष्ठलाभगैः क्रूरैः केंद्रधीधर्मगैः शुभैः ।
Bad planets in the 3rd, 6th and 11th and good planets in strong houses make the first feeding good.
तृतीये पञ्चमे चाब्दे स्वकुलाचारतोऽपि वा ।
A child's first haircut is done in the 3rd or 5th year, or as the family custom says.
