Dr. Shah Chowdhury answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Infant Feeding: Supplementary food usually is started at 4 -6 months age. If breast fed baby, we encourage mother to continue breast feeding. Your baby may refuse formula for sometime, but i hope, she will start drinking formula again. Prior to 1 year age, no regular milk. Vitamin-d milk is recommended from 1-2 years. After 2 years 2% milk.
