A member asked:

How much milk needed for one year old baby?how much cows milk needed?is formula milk still needed?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some basics: Breast milk or formula is good basic nutrition for the 1st yr . After that point, formula is only "needed" for special health conditions. Cow milk is an easy source for calcium/fat/protein but should be limited to 16-24 oz/d. More can trigger microscopic intestinal bleeding & anemia.
