My little one is 2 years and 2 months old, and I'm thinking about starting Junior Horlicks Stage 1. I'm unsure what the right age is since I noticed that both the Stage 1 and Stage 2 packs mention not giving it to children under 2 years old, but there's no more detailed age info. Could you help me with when might be a good time to start?

I'm really concerned about my little one who's almost 1 and a half years old. He's still breastfeeding, but my wife isn't doing well health-wise. She's struggling with depression and is really weak, so she can't keep breastfeeding. We've tried giving our kid food and fruits, but he still cries a lot for his mother's milk and doesn't like drinking regular milk. Could you please give us advice on how to wean him off breastfeeding?
