A. Milk is very important for babies specially in the initial days of life breast milk is very important and should be given exclusively till 5-6 months of age . formula milk should be given only as a substitute to breast milk if due to any reason it is not sufficient to fulfill the demand of the baby. according to the age different stage of formula milk are there like stage 1 till 6 months of agef stage 2 from 6 months to 12 months and thereafter stage 3 . after one year cows milk should be stharted and any kind of health drink powder in milk should be used only after the completion of two years of age .

A. Teething Must have started with your child little early then the time which is why your child is trying to bite the nipples are you free so that could possibly be the only reason that’s what I can think of because that is the most common reason that can happen that could be the thing behind it
