Can we mix formula and buffalo milk
Hello Doctor,
My son is 1 year ( 13 months) old. Currently We are using NAN PRO formula milk. We are trying to switch to Buffalo milk but baby doesn't like it not drinking milk. Can we mix formula milk and buffalo milk (50-50 ratio) and feed him? To slowly make him habituated to buffalo milk.

Cows milk is milder than buffalo milk for kids. Buffalo milk has high protein and solute content which might put a load on the baby's organs. They may become overweight also . Also it is not recommended to mix any milk with formula as formula is optimised for kids. A 1 year old can eat all types of foods which the family eats. Simple home food is enough for 1 year old.
