Hi,
Mother's milk is the best food for your child though with his age now weaning or addition of other soft foods should be gradually added. Bananas, meshed rice, meshed vegetables etc may be gradually introduced over one to month. Though Mothers have an excuse to skip fasting if she has problem with lactation but religious scholars may be consulted for that first. If using formula milk becomes unavoidable, any locally available recognised brand or international brand like Enfamil or Similac can be used.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
