A member asked:
I'm babysitting my friends son, he's 1. and she packed some similac and a bottle. i thought they drink regular milk around that age and table food ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
They can but...: Formula is a complete nutrition. They likely expect you to follow their lead and use what they provided. If you don't know the kid well enough to know if he has food allergies or other issues you would be wise not to offer anything else. Clarify the issue in the future if you sit for him again.
