Hi
Yes you can use packaged cow's milk but you have to check for any food allergies ...and how the it's being digested..and other issues like intolerance to lactose etc..
Dilute it with two parts of lukewarm with one part of cow's milk and slowly introduce it to your baby during the day..
In Extended breastfeeding ( EBF ) baby won't be having much of inconvenience ..
But introduce the new packaged milk in very limited portion size in the very beginning check for allergies..if there are no allergies developed then you can slowly increase the quantity..
Thankyou

Hi you can start with a small quantity of packet milk. See how the baby digests it then gradually increase the quantity.
Next Steps
Always introduce new foods to the baby in the morning or day time so that u can handle it during the day just in case of allergy to cow milk or any new food.

Hello,
You can include double toned boiled mother-dairy milk alternate to B/M but as per nutrition concern, the vitamins & mineral content of the B/M & package milk is finely differ from the bird's eye view. Henceforth you can use infant formulas fortified with DHA, for better result. Some formulas are very close to the B/M , you can ask your Dietitian for choosing home based food preparations, along with brainstorming exercises for specific months for mental & motor development.
You can reach me here or Google to contact me.
