You can give formula feed or undiluted cow milk
But instead of shifting the baby on milk, consider introducing solid and semi solid soft and steamed foods.
5 servings in a day( 3 meals+ 2 snacks)
Serving size of 1 1/2 katori
Finger foods to encourage self feeding
Just focusing on intake of milk will give rise to iron deficiency anemia and the child would be nutrient deficient
Gradually Start by replacing one breastfeeding session per day with a bottle or cup of milk. Slowly reduce breastfeeds over weeks.
Offer snacks, water, or play during regular nursing times.
Use teething toys
Next Steps
Avoid excess salt/sugar and processed food
