Mom of a 7 yr 2 m old boy6 years ago

Q.

Hey.. Hi.. Hello.. My baby is 7 months old... He was exclusively bf since birth... For the past few days I have started with formula as my supply went low.. I have started with semi solids like ragi porridge n carrot puree n nothing else.. I'm worried from today afternoon he is not drinking the formula milk... He is crying very badly @ nights for milk... What can I do? Is there any solution!!! My mom in law is scolding me for giving him formula milk.. She's insisting me to give him desi cow milk instead of formula!!! I'm helpless.. Can someone tell me a solution!!!

A. Hello good day to you! it's good to give only after a year. Animal milk is not good for your baby’s tummy. It contains a high sodium content and very low iron content.Further, the proteins present in it other milk aren’t easily digestible and it will lead to stomach upsets
