Not having formula milk from 10th month
Hello Doctor,
My daughter is 10months old.
As i don't have milk, from her birth time we were completely dependent on formula milk for feeding her.
From 6th month we slowly introduced solid food and from 9th month it was majorly family pot so she used to drink milk once or twice only in the night.
From past week despite of being hungry she is not drinking milk even in the night, so i was giving her some solid food.
Is it ok to skip formula milk? and when i start giving her cow milk?

It is good that child is not ready to take formula milk.
Usually animal dairy should be started after 1year of age but if required it can be started earlier also as early as 2 weeks depending on the situation.
However if the child is taking less milk (any form), it is not a worry if the child is taking between 3 or 5 bowls of complementary feeds.
Encourage or concentrate on complementary feeding rather than on milk (as now low cal or protein supply according to rising age)
