A. Give your infant formula milk(6months plus) which suits them upto age 1. Only after that start outside milk as they are more difficult to digest for a baby's gut and filter thru their kidneys. All the paediatricians I have consulted never suggested giving outside milk before age 1 even though all old people around you do as they did with us when we were babies. As your baby is 6 months plus, supplement with solid foods. If you have a good supply of milk, you can pump the milk and give it to your baby through a bottle(proper sterilization of pump parts and feeding bottle are a must) The toned cow milk is already diluted with very little nutrition in the qty that you will give your baby. If you dilute it further, the nutrition content will go down further. It can also lead to iron deficiency if given as the primary source of nutrition. Buffalo milk is high in fat and more difficult to digest than cow milk. In case you do want to supplement with outside milk, go for cow milk. Formula is expensive and pumping and giving thru feeding bottle with appropriate flow teat is also time consuming and expensive. Choose the most convenient and affordable option. of course you have go with your infants comfort, what ever suits them best.

A. the thing is that at this age you can go for any type of milk for the child and it can be either formula milk or packet milk or powder milk or animal milk that is either buffalo milk or cow's milk for your child. initially you will have to offer outside milk in small quantity and if the child is tolerating that amount then gradually you can increase the quantity xof milk but if the child is not tolerating then kindly change the type of milk you are giving . (when you boil the xanimal milk and then cool it you can remove the upper layer of fat and it becomes a toned milk)

A. hello if the baby is not taking the breast milk directly then you can express the milk and try feeding the same using a bpa free bottle like babyhug or you can give infant formula milk as an alternative but no other milk can be given till one year
