When should my baby quit milk?

It is recommended that babies be exclusively breastfed or given formula for the first six months of life. After six months, solid foods can be introduced and breast milk or formula can continue to be given to meet the baby's nutritional needs. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that breastfeeding continue for at least the first year of a baby's life, and longer if both the mother and baby are willing.

It is recommended that infants be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life, and then continue to breastfeed for at least the first year. After that, you can gradually introduce other types of foods, such as solid foods and cow's milk, while continuing to breastfeed for as long as you and your baby wish. There is no specific age at which a baby should stop drinking milk, as this will vary depending on your baby's individual development and dietary needs. It is important to consult with your baby's doctor to determine the appropriate time to transition to other types of foods and drinks.
