Cow's milk for baby
My baby girl one year 4 months. She's not drinking cow's milk. My wife has stopped feeding her gradually. Afternoon and night we are giving her cow's milk. But she's not at all interested to drink. At times we are force feeding her. She nearly takes 45 min to drink. Can we mix badam powder or nan pro? She sleeps only after taking either my feed or cow's milk. Pls suggest

Your wife can still try to breast feed confidently. If you have to give too feeding it should be pasteurized standard milk with ka tori and spoon not with bottle .
Don’t give so called cows milk as pasteurized milk is safe . Don’t give powder milk as it can cause constipation .

Milk is not a complete meal. So no need to give top milk more than 200-400ml. And if not taking don't force, give milk products like curd buttermilk instead to get nutrition. Also give pasturized mix milk ( like amul taza or amul shakti).
You should add atleast 1 spoon sugar in one glass milk. Also you can add badam powder or flavour if not taking.
Health Tips
