A. For an 8-month-old baby, formula milk is recommended as the primary source of nutrition if you're not breastfeeding. Formula milk is specifically designed to meet the nutritional needs of infants at this age and is a safe option. You can continue giving formula milk alongside the introduction of solid foods. It's important to offer breast milk or formula for the first year, as cow's milk does not provide all the nutrients that a growing baby needs, such as iron and vitamin E. Cow's milk should not be given as the primary milk source until after 12 months. While small amounts (e.g., in cooking or as part of solid food) are fine, it lacks the right balance of nutrients and can cause iron deficiency or other health issues in younger infants. Furthermore, cow's milk can be harder for babies to digest and may lead to allergic reactions in some children. Always consult with your pediatrician about introducing any new milk or food to ensure it fits with your baby's growth and health needs.
