A. You can introduce 3.25% homogenized whole cow's milk at 9 to 12 months of age once your baby is eating a variety of iron rich foods at least twice a day. Offer cow's milk in a regular cup (not a sippy cup). This will help your baby learn how to drink.Digestion. Your baby has a young digestive system, which means they can't digest milk as easily as they can digest breast milk or formula. Giving cow's milk or other milk instead of formula or breast milk before age one can stop your baby from growing well.Undoubtedly breastmilk is only advisable. Feed frequently day and night to improve the milk production.At 12 months old (but not before), your child can be introduced to cow's milk. Before your child is 12 months old, cow's milk may put him or her at risk for intestinal bleeding. It also has too many proteins and minerals for your baby's kidneys to handle and does not have the right amount of nutrients your baby needs.
