suggestion ..will b appreciated Mel replied. Unfortunately, cow' s milk is NOT suitable for children under one. It has very high protein content, which CANNOT be digested by infants. This can lead to allergies, indigestion and unwanted kidney problems for your son.

I understand that you son doesn' t like Formula. My son hated it too. But, you need to invest time and effort to get him to like it. He likes breastmilk, so prepare about 1 oz of formula (Lactogen or Nan) and mix with 4 - 5 oz of expressed breastmilk. Your son won' t realize. Once he takes it willingly, offer this ratio for a week, then after a week, increase the formula quantity by another oz. And so on.... Gradually, he will take larger quantities of formula and eventually over 2 months or so, he will be drinking only formula.

It is a slow process. But, persevere, because cow' s milk is NOT safe for your child. Please discontinue any and all brands of cow' s milk, and get him used to formula. Once he turns one year old, you can switch to cow' s milk and discontinue formula.
