2-year-old formula or baby food?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor

A 2-year-old no longer needs special "baby formula." At this age, your child can eat most foods from the family table—as long as salt, spices, and fat are controlled. Modern pediatric guidance recommends transitioning from infant formula to family meals after the first year.

What matters is variety and portion size. Three meals and 1–2 snacks daily is plenty. Spread vegetables, fruits, whole grains, protein (eggs, ground meat, chicken, legumes), and dairy products evenly across the day. Daily milk or yogurt shouldn't exceed 400–500 ml; regular cow's milk can now be the main drink.

Most "2+ year old" baby foods in stores contain added sugar or unnecessary additives; they aren't needed.
