POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. It's generally recommended to wait until a baby is at least 12 months old before introducing cow's milk or toned milk as a main drink. For a 6-month-old, breast milk or formula should still be the primary source of nutrition.
Alternatives for a Working Mom:
1. Breast Milk: If you can pump and store breast milk, this is the best option.
2. Formula: If breastfeeding is not possible, infant formula is suitable for babies under 12 months.
3. Baby Foods: At 6 months, you can start introducing solids, such as pureed fruits, vegetables, and cereals, alongside breast milk or formula.
Why to Avoid Cow's Milk Before 12 Months:
It doesn't provide adequate nutrition for infants.
It can be hard for babies to digest.
It may increase the risk of allergies or intestinal bleeding.
If you have concerns about feeding or balancing work and childcare, consider discussing your situation with a pediatrician or a lactation consultant for personalized advice.
