How old should your baby be when he drinks formula?

china's formula is divided into
1
(
0-6
months old),
2
(
6-12
months old),
3
(
12-36
months old) three stages. In other words,
3
milk powder baby can drink up to
3
years old, but the baby's milk powder really need to drink up to
3
years old?。 In fact, formula in the end to drink to a few years old, there is no unified conclusion, different countries and regions have different views. For example, the United States, the European Union and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region believe that for babies over
1
years of age, milk is only part of their diet, in the case of a balanced diet, you can drink milk, do not have to drink
3
pieces of milk powder.
However, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents (
2016
), mainland China recommends that babies over
1
years of age can gradually try foods such as milk and yogurt, but before the age of
2,
, if the child is unable to drink breast milk or breast milk for various reasons, he or she should eat formula instead until the age of
2,
.。 Because for children
13-24
months old, although you can gradually try milk and other foods, but because of ordinary fresh milk, yogurt, cheese and other foods, protein and mineral content is much higher than breast milk, will increase the kidney burden of infants and young children, or in small amounts, can not be used to completely replace breast milk and formula;children over the age of
, their diet type and diet structure are beginning to approach that of adults, and they can drink milk or a considerable amount of dairy products every day without having to drink formula.。
