Hello doctors, My baby is about to complete his 6 months, till date we were feeding him Lactogen 1 and Amul tazaa milk. Now he is about to complete 6 months and we?d be introducing him to some fruits pulses water and other semi solid foods but my question is should I continue with Lactogen 2 or giving Amul milk or dairy milk along with semi solid foods and fruit juices would be fine? Please advice. Thank you in advance.

Yes milk makes a important part of child's diet. As its the main source of calcium and vitamin D .Do give lactogen 2 as I understand that baby was not breast fed so try to not give fresh milk plain for another 6 months but continue with supplement. Also start with semi solids slowly. And do not give too many new foods in one day .keep a gap of 3 days at least.
