Question
My baby is 6 months old, can she start eating solid food and stop drinking formula milk? What should I be aware of?
Answer
It is generally recommended to stop breastfeeding after one year, but continue to feed formula milk. Cow’s milk does not provide sufficient nutrients. It is not recommended to stop breastfeeding and switch to cow’s milk. Before weaning, it is essential to ensure the baby continues to drink formula milk. Although the baby is already one year old, she still needs milk to obtain nutrition. You can use spoons and other foods to let her get accustomed to the taste, and then learn to use bottles and other foods.
