A. yes you should shift for cow's or buffaloes milk. At 1 year, solid foods – including healthy snacks – are now your child's main source of energy and nutrition. He can take between three quarters to one cup of food three to four times a day, plus one to two snacks between meals. Continue breastfeeding as much as your child wants, until he is at least 2 years old.

A. Whole Cow's Milk This type of milk is recommended as a replacement to baby formula at this age by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Per 8 ounces, whole cow's milk is a quality source of calcium, protein, fat, phosphorous, Vitamin A, and Vitamin D.
