Is FM better than BM after baby reaches 6 mths? I'm still breastfeeding my boy of 8 mths but recently I keep hearing that FM provides more nutrients after 6 mths. Feeling confused if I should still continue feeding BM since I always thought it is the best.

I would say whatever is comfortable for u and baby. Usually after they start eating solids, solids became the main source of nutrients and milk is supplement. In terms of nutrients, BM is better as it is sort of customised to what your baby needs. But if you feel like you can no longer continue bf, don’t stress about it. Switch to FM. As long as baby is well fed and growing healthily, I think it doesn’t matter if u give bm or fm.
