A. Your Challenge 20 months old so obviously if your breast feed is not sufficient for you you can switch to regular buffaloes milk for the child because you can switch it after the age of 12 months also and it is good to know that you really want to breastfeed the child but if it is not sufficient then go ahead with cows milk or formula whatever you like
