A. Milk for babies specially in the initial days of life is very essential,breast milk is ideally the best and should be given exclusively till 5-6 months of age . if your baby is having proper weight gain and urine output then you can consider that the baby is getting satisfied with the milk and there is nothing to worry. formula milk should be given only when suggested by your pediatrician as a substitute to breast milk if due to any reason it is not sufficient to fulfill the demand of the baby. according to the age different stage of formula milk are there like stage 1 till 6 ymonths of age stage 2 from 6 months to 12 months and thereafter stage 3 .u after one year cows milk should be started and any kind of health drink powder in milk should be used only after the completion of two years of age .

A. hi...Babies require milk with high fat and protein content to grow properly, so avoid giving them skimmed or toned milk and stick to whole or organic milk. When weaning your baby off breast milk, do it slowly by introducing a little bit of milk into their food at a time. If there is a sudden change or if you give cow milk to your child at a very young age in large quantities, chances of developing allergies to cow milk will be higher, so add little milk in his diet initially.
