A. Babies can't digest cow's milk as completely or easily as breast milk or formula. Cow's milk contains high concentration of protein and minerals which is not easy to digest...don't give any animal milk before 1 year age of baby ...you should give Aptamil Gold Stage 1 formula milk it's contains HMOs and prebiotics which make baby immunity system and gut health strong...

A. hi mother's milk is best food for a child so please stick to breastfeeding there is no need of formula or external milk. after completion of one year age you can offer them but if it is not possible to breastfeed then you can offer any of them after consulting with your pediatrician.
