Can i continue to give my one year old son formula for year one to two years.

One year : It's a usual and customary thing to stop formula at one year unless there are allergic reasons or special nutritional needs to consider to continue, but if you want to go on its a good supplement, just be careful of obesity

Yes but ......: The nutritional additives in formula are designed to be a complete source of nutrition when a kid has not broadened their diet to other sources. It becomes little more than an expensive fluid source after a kid has accepted a balanced diet. It is also at least 1/3 more calories/ounce than most foods and a lot more than water/juice.
