Accepted Answer

hi...Packet milk can be introduced in your baby’s diet once you start weaning him off breast milk. You can include a spoon or two in the food that you make for them at six months and above then later increase the quantity after checking with your baby’s paediatrician.
Babies require milk with high fat and protein content to grow properly, so avoid giving them skimmed or toned milk and stick to whole or organic milk.
When weaning your baby off breast milk, do it slowly by introducing a little bit of milk into their food at a time. If there is a sudden change or if you give cow milk to your child at a very young age in large quantities, chances of developing allergies to cow milk will be higher, so add little milk in his diet initially.
