POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy11 months agoA. It's generally not recommended to give packed milk (like cow's milk) to babies under one year old. Here are some key points to consider:
1. Nutritional Needs: Babies under one year need breast milk or formula, as these provide the necessary nutrients, including the right balance of fat, protein, and vitamins.
2. Cow's Milk: Whole cow's milk can be introduced after 12 months. Before that, it can be hard for babies to digest and may not provide the appropriate nutrition.
3. Potential Allergies: Introducing cow's milk too early may increase the risk of allergies or intolerance.
4. Balanced Diet: After six months, you can start introducing solid foods while continuing to provide breast milk or formula. Once your baby reaches one year, you can gradually introduce whole cow's milk.
Recommendations:
Continue Breastfeeding or Formula: For babies under one year, continue breastfeeding or providing iron-fortified formula.
Consult a Pediatrician: Always consult your pediatrician for personalized guidance regarding your baby's diet and nutrition.
If you have specific concerns about your baby's nutrition or feeding habits, discussing them with your pediatrician can provide tailored advice.
