You can start your baby on cows milk. Switch to boiled undiluted cows milk as adding water will reduce the nutritive proportion of the milk Start from 1-2 feeds/day and if tolerating can switch completely. Also give it using cup and spoon and not with bottles. Along with switching of the milk, focus on improving the nutrition with solid food as well.
