Of course not. Breastmilk, formula milk and cow milk. Only 2 of the above not all 3. Don't mix and match.

Animal milk is only to be started after 1 year of age. Continue only breast and formula milk as the child is regularly having. After 1 year, full fat milk is best given. 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!
