THANKS FOR QUERY.
When child is constantly places the nipple in their mouth carbohydrate remains the prolonged time that causes dental caries otherwise that is not harmful.
Mothers milk has no substitute .
As your child is 7 month old and thriving on formula feed lactogen 2 is good option as it is better formulated for human child than buffalo milk. Cows milk is better than buffalo milk for child, now you can go for cow's milk.
HOPE THAT HELPS.
