A. Milk is very important for babies specially in the initial days of life breast milk is very important and should be given exclusively till 5-6 months of age . formula milk should be given only as a substitute to breast milk if due to any reason it is not sufficient to fulfill the demand of the baby. according to the age different stage of formula mgilk are there like stage 1 till 6 months of age stage 2 from 6 months to 12 months and thereafter stage 3 . after one year cows mivlk should be started and any kind of health drink powder in milk should be used only after the completion of two years of age .

A. U See it is completely going to depend on the amount of breastfeeding that you are making so if you are having good amount of breastfeeding than continuously express your breast feed and give it to the child with a bottle gradually the price which is going to increase so you can even go ahead with hundred percent breastfeeding that way
