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.
