Asking for Self, Female, 5 years old, Islamabad
My baby is 5 months old and on exclusive formula feed, at 3.5 months vaccination she was 8 kgs. my doctor told to start semi solids at 5 months. She said you can cook rice pudding or sabudana in fresh cow milk i.e premabor anhar (she mentioned). As per my knowledge you can't give fresh cow milk till 12 months. So I want to ask what should I do? Should I cook in water then in the end add her formula milk?

Aoa ... you can give cow milk without dilution after 2 month onward , But ideal is mother feed so you can give cow milk with proper sanitary and hygienic measure ...weaning or semisolids can be started after 5 month of age you can cook food...

Cow's milk should NOT be given before 12 months of life.
You may use formula milk to prepare baby food.
