#asktheexpert can I give cow milk to my 6 Month old baby

A. No, cow milk is not recommended for babies under 1 year of age. For a six-month-old baby, you should continue with breast milk or formula milk as the main source of nutrition. Cow milk can be difficult for infants to digest and may lead to issues like intestinal bleeding, iron deficiency, and kidney strain. At six months, you can start solid foods like rice cereal, mashed vegetables, fruits, and moong dal, but cow milk should only be introduced after the baby turns one year old.
