Brief Answer:
Clean and nicely boiled...
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Any milk will do provided the milk is well boiled and pasteurized. For additional calorie, you can try medium fat or full fat ones. Along with milk, you should also look to start weaning food. Boiled rice with mashed potatoes and dal are good start up weaning foods.
