Dear you should start with formula milk as it is easily digested to kids instead of cow milk before 1 year of age. My baby is 1.6 mo but I am still continuing with Dexolac formula milk as it contains FOS fiber beneficial for long term gut health of babies. Also I personally do not prefer giving any animal milk to baby so it was suggested by my paediatric also. He gave Dexolac formula to be introduced at very initial stage alongside breastfeeding as my supply was not enough for my baby. I would suggest you to use Dexolac formula milk only instead of switching to cow milk.
