Breastfeeding should be done 2 years or more. First 6 months should be exclusive breast feeding.
Breastfeeding is best for the baby.
Both formulas are equally bad and I don't recommend unless breastfeeding is not possible due to some problem.

For a 7 month old mother’s milk should continue and supplemental feeding should be freshly cooked home made Dal , kheer , suji , juice , banana potato soup etc egg can also be introduced . Milk should be standard pasteurized rather than tinned milk .by 9 months baby will be ready to eat practically everything in semisolid form .
