Good evening sir/ madam. My female baby 18 months old. Due to second pregnancy my wife stoped breast feeding. Can we give cow milk? And can we add some suppliment. Like junior Horlicks, boost etc. Kindly suggest me a good suppliment for my 18 months baby. Her (Baby) weight is 8 kg.

U can start cows milk . Avoid supplementing with powders as they contain lots of sugars . Can try honey/  jaggery / nuts powder for healthy weight gain

Her weight appears to be on lower side, what was the birth weight? Cow milk can be given in 1-2 servings. You have to add complimentary feeding like khichadi, daliya or other dishes as per your local practice. You need a physical consultation for low weight of your baby.
