Packet milk
My baby girl one year 4 months old. She used to drink packet milk but suddenly for the past 3 days she's not opening her mouth to drink. So I'm giving her mother's feed. I don't know why she's suddenly refusing packet milk. I too mixed badam powder for taste. But she's not ready to drink. Pls guide

Ideally exclusive breastfeeding till 6 months complete and start weaning food after 6 months.
Try to give much as she take mother's milk and needed then give top milk. But if she takes only mother's milk and her weight is gaining no need to give any thing.

Good evening
At this age you should try to give solid foods as compared to milk. Rather you should give milk based thick foods like kheer, smoothie etc. After a certain age only milk is not nutritionally sufficient for the overall growth of baby. Try to give milk based diet and not only milk.
This habbit as explained by you, may be transient as the baby is constantly learning new things.
You can continue breastfeeding till 2 year of age but along with solid foods, as explained.
Hope it helps
