Starting cow milk
Hello sir / madam My son is eleven months old, he is exclusively breastfeeding with solids till now. But for last one month he is not sleeping well, many frequent night waking plus tough to settle him down most of the times, also no much day time sleep too. We feel breast milk is not sufficient for him. We planned to start cow milk after one year, but we are worried much as his sleep is much disturbed during night as well as day. Can we start giving cow milk now ? It is actually twenty days early for one year to complete. We are bit hesitant to give formula as we already came this much without formula milk. Please suggest. Thanks
