#AskTheExpert Hello sir gud mrng mere beta 20days ka hai uski mamy ke milk se uski apurti nhi ho pati hai to kya hum usko Cow ka milk de skte hai vo safe rahega ??

A. Cow's milk should be given to the baby only after completion of 1 year of age because the protein and fat in cow's milk is hard to digest before that and many a times there could be cow's milk protein allergy in oubabies and lactose intolerance which could be severe sometimes. Also early introduction of cows milk can lead to iron deficiency anemia as cow's milk lacks iron and vit c . Also there could be micro bleeding in intestine because of the heavy protein of cow's milk .
