Continue formula feeds till child had completed 6 months and displaying the 4 solid readiness signs. Breast feeding can be attempted again by relactation. For any queries, book an online consultation with me. I am a lactation consultant, IYCF (Infant and Young Child Feeding) nutrition expert with an interest in Childhood Infections and Vaccinations. Take care!
