After the birth of a newborn, many mothers choose to breastfeed; As the baby grows, the formula should also be appropriately changed to include formula milk and complementary foods, or even stop drinking formula milk and start eating officially. So, at what age can baby formula be stopped?
Many breastfed babies will experience a long period of formula feeding after weaning. I believe many mothers will find that there are many stages of formula on the market, including three and four stages, which are suitable for children aged 1-3 and above in the corresponding months. Many mothers may wonder whether they need to continue drinking milk powder after weaning, until they are three years old or older?
In fact, there is a close relationship between formula feeding and the age of the baby:
0-6 months: Breastfeeding is advocated, but some mothers have no milk or lack milk and need to add formula. At this point, the only food for the baby can only be formula milk.
From 6 months to 1 year old: Babies can gradually add complementary foods on the basis of breast milk or formula feeding, changing the singularity of food to increase the nutrients needed by the body.
Over 1 year old: If the mother is unable to breastfeed at this time, she can choose formula milk or pure milk as a substitute for breast milk according to the baby's own situation.
As for how old to stop drinking baby formula, there is actually no exact age number. Some babies may automatically choose not to drink for a certain period of time. In addition, as babies grow up and their dietary system gradually improves, various nutrients they need can also be obtained from food. As long as the baby's daily diet can meet the body's needs, baby formula can be discontinued.
