Hi Ram!

Actually I would not give Milo to a 9 month old baby for several reasons.

Since Milo is based on cow's milk, it should be used with caution for any child younger than 1 year old.

You can read more about what foods to avoid for babies here.

In addition, Milo contains a lot of sugar, which may result in tooth decay and also that your son will become even more picky about other foods.

In stead of Milo, can you offer him formula or breast milk? That is much better nutrition for young picky eaters.

And for some tips on how to help your baby to become more interested in eating solid foods, click here.

I hope this helps,
