POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. The Academy of Pediatrics recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life. After six months, complementary foods can be introduced while continuing breastfeeding. If you choose to introduce cow's milk, it's generally recommended to wait until your baby is at least 12 months old.
Before 12 months, a baby's digestive system is not fully developed to handle the high protein and mineral content of cow's milk. Introducing cow's milk too early may lead to digestive issues and nutrient imbalances.
If you have concerns or considerations about your baby's diet, it's best to consult with your pediatrician. They can provide personalized advice based on your baby's specific needs and development.
