Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. first of all meet your doctor and get the weight of the child assessment done.
if the weight gain of the child is within normal limits as well as the urine output is normal then do not worry about the feeding pattern, the sleeping pattern and the crying pattern of the child.
your doctor is the best person to tell you whether any outside milk is required or not until that time kindly continue only breastfeeding.
continue exclusive breastfeeding till 6 months of age of the child.
small all children take demand feeding that is when they feel hungry they will take feeding.
.
you can go for formula milk consumption for your child after medical consultation with your dr.
you can go for any brand which is easily digestible by the child but if the child is not able to digest and has colic pain vomiting and loose motion or constipation due to a particular formula milk it is advisable to change the brand.
also if one brand is going on it is advisable to continue the same brand and do not switch to different brands again and again because many times it can lead to digestion problem.
so if a particular brand is well digested kindly continue that particular brand of formula milk
you have to follow demand feeding that is if the child demands more milk you can gradually increase the quantity .
usually cow milk is avoided before completion of one year of age because before that it can caused cow milk allergy which might lead to either constipation or loose motion or colic pain.
but if you have given cow milk earlier and it did not cause any digestiond problem then you can continue to give it to the child
otherwise stick to the milk which was given since birth.
