My initial concern is that your two year old child is not accepting food. In the United States, pediatricians recommend introducing solid foods to infants between the age of 4 to 6 months old. By six months old, babies’ natural stores of iron begin to deplete, and some babies may not get enough iron in their liquid diets to replace them. There is more iron in formula than in breast milk, but the iron in breast milk is more readily absorbed.
The only way to protect your child against communicable diseases is by vaccination. In the United States, the vaccination schedule begins at birth with a vaccination against Hepatitis B and continues through the age of 18, with booster shots.
I don't know where you live and the quality of heath care available to you and your child.
