#asktheexpert hello doctor..baby ko kab tak formula dena hain .

A. Formula milk can be safely given to a baby up to 1 year of age, especially if the baby is not breastfed or requires additional feeding. After 6 months, as solid foods are introduced, formula can continue alongside solids to meet the baby’s nutritional needs. By the time the baby turns 1 year, most healthy babies can transition to cow’s milk or other suitable alternatives like fortified plant-based milk, if recommended by a doctor. However, if the baby has any medical condition, low weight, or feeding issues, the pediatrician may advise continuing formula for a bit longer. Always consult your child’s doctor before switching from formula to regular milk.
