The American Academy of Pediatrics advises that babies should drink only breast milk or formula until the first birthday (and optionally, small amounts of water after six months of age).
Can I mix formula with coconut milk?
You can then start by using coconut milk instead of cow or goat milk for mixing your baby's formula. You can add coconut milk to boiled and mashed rice or potato, with a little bit of sugar for some sweetness.

How do I start giving my baby milk instead of formula?
Start by replacing one feeding per day with a sippy cup or a regular cup of whole cow's milk. If your baby doesn't like it, mix 1/2 cow's milk and 1/2 breast milk or formula. Slowly lower the ratio over time. Slowly replace other feedings with cow's milk until you are no longer breastfeeding or using formula.May 26, 2021
