#AskTheExpert my baby is almost 7 months old...we have started giving him cow's milk and pureed fruits and vegetables. we have to travel. what can i give him instead of breastmilk. the journey would be for approx 8 hrs.

A. No cow milk is needed. 6-9 months: Still no cow's milk or alternatives yet but at this time baby should be starting to eat solids foods. 9-12 months: At this age you can feel free to substitute whole cow's milk for breastmilk or formula BUT only if baby is regularly eating iron-rich foods at least two times a day.
