#AskTheExpert Hi Dr , my lo is 16 months old and I have not started cow milk for her . she's completely on top feed . Is it absolutely necessary to start cow milk . how long can I give her top feed ?

A. hello yes you can continue with the top feed which is not a problem..but good to slowly wean One-year-olds no longer need formula, and can now switch to whole milk. Some toddlers never drink milk; if that's the case with your child, please don't force it. Toddlers need the nutrients in milk — calcium and protein — but these nutrients are also available from other sources.
