Is a 1.5-year-old baby still supposed to drink formula milk in addition to breastfeeding?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

At around six months, breast milk can no longer meet the child's nutritional needs, and the longer the duration, the slightly poorer the nutritional quality of breast milk. Therefore, weaning is generally recommended around 10 to 12 months. After that, the nutritional components in the milk are not sufficient, so we can start giving the baby three meals a day with supplementary foods to wean them off breastfeeding.
