Cows milk is not recommended till 1 year of age due to risk of intestinal bleeding and overload of kidneys with some constituents of cows milk. So don't use it.

Please avoid cow milk till 6-8 months if possible. You can continue nan pro till 6 months, shift to lactogen 1 from 6 months onwards. Can start introducing small quantity complimentary feeds from 6 months.

No cow milk including diluted one before 6 months.High minerals, protein will be there in Cow milk.Only mother milk or formula upto 6 months.At 4 months few developed countries may start slowly other feeds but they also 0 tolerance for cow milk bcz allergic risk , gut risk of cow protein.Some babies on cow milk land in Fe deficiency anemia, this is most common in our country.Formula is good ,weight depend on birth weight 5-6 kg is ok.

Animal milk (cow’s or buffalo’s) is not recommended for babies less than 1 year of age.
After the baby turns 6 months old, you may use some amount of cow’s milk for cooking purpose; but not to be given as a meal by itself.
Please give the baby only formula feeds and stop animal milk.
