POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy9 months agoA. For a 6-month-old baby, breast milk is generally the best option, even if stored, as it provides essential nutrients, antibodies, and other immune factors that help protect the baby from infections and support optimal growth and development. Breast milk is easier to digest and is more suitable for the baby’s needs during this period.
Cow's milk is not recommended as a primary drink for babies under one year old, as it may not provide the right balance of nutrients and can be difficult for the baby to digest. It can also increase the risk of iron deficiency and other issues, including potential allergic reactions.
If you're unable to breastfeed directly, stored breast milk (frozen or refrigerated) is a good alternative as it retains most of the essential nutrients and benefits. Formula milk is another option when breastfeeding or stored breast milk is not available.
At 6 months, you can start introducing solid foods in addition to breast milk or formula, but these should complement, not replace, the milk. Always consult your pediatrician for personalized advice.
