Animal milk should be started only after 1 year of age. There is too much protein load and can cause some infections. Please give formula milk. Your best milk is not sufficient / have you been assessed? You can start solids if your child has completed 180 days and shows solid readiness signs. For any queries, kindly book an online consultation with me. I am a lactation consultant and IYCF nutrition expert. You can check out my Instagram page @drbabymum for helpful tips ! Take care!
