Hello
Since you're child is 1 year old its not needed to find any formula milk. Hope you have started giving complimentary feeds for your child. By end of 1 year child should be eating what you eat at your home.
So u can give aptamil during night time just to help him sleep with time you can wean the child from that too
Next Steps
give complimentary feeds
