I would not suggest Amur toned milk or any other cow milk or related products. Cow milk is difficult to digest and can be regarded optional, although you can give it if there is no intolerance. Weaning is supposed to be done at 6 months of age. If breast milk seems inadequate, there is no problem if you start slightly early as the child is already 5 months old. The child needs a mashed up version of adult food low on spices. You can start with rice and pulses boiled together with vegetables and mashed together preferably using hand (not mixer and grinder). You may also add chicken and eggs in mashed form. Yogurt or curd can be given and is beneficial.
