A. Hello mom After baby turns one year old baby should take at least four meals in a day and you should just try to give daily routine food to your baby because there are no food restrictions now. If you will continue giving milk all the time then baby will never start taking proper meals because milk kills the hunger and also affects babies appetite Happy parenting
