Breast milk is best milk for infants. It provide appropriate nutrients for growth and also enhance immunity In cases where there is insufficient breast milk, formula milk can be given. It is titrated to best suit baby’s needs Since your baby is already 5months old , you can start semisolid foods soon, so don’t worry about milk. His requirements will have to be met with complementary foods soon
