hi
mam,as a child is 2 year old,why are you giving formula?
you can offer external milk,I mean cow's milk to your child.
and there is no need of baby food,you can serve all food items which you usually prepare for your whole family.
so please make your child sit to take meal with whole family because children learn more from imitating their parents.
