a. Infants should be given only human milk for the first 6 months of life.

c. If infants are weaned from breast milk before 12 months, they should receive cow's milk, not formula.
d. After 6 months mothers should shift from breast milk to cow's milk.

Breastfeeding/human milk should also be the sole source of milk for the second 6 months. Infants start on solids when they are ready, usually at 6 months, whether they start on formula or breast milk. If infants are weaned from breast milk before 12 months, they should receive iron-fortified formula, not cow's milk.
