A. Hello mom you have to gradually now plan to reduce your feed for the toddler now as alone your feed is not sufficient for his growth and the more Late you do the more difficult it will get . Gradually make a diet routine for him and maximum try to give solids and inbetween feed him your milk

A. Hi dear mom If ur feed is sufficient then you can continue to breast feed ur baby till two years. If ur bm is less then u can start giving cow milk to ur baby. Babies they take time to adjust to the new habit. So no need to worry. Keep trying, baby will gradually start to drink cow milk
