A. Cow's milk should not be given before the child turns one year old. Babies exposed to cow's milk before 1 year can be anemic, have diarrhoea or vomiting, or experience an allergic reaction as the proteins in cow's milk are more and hence it can overload a baby's kidneys. It is also deficient in Vitamins C, E and copper. It is harder to digest and can often cause intestinal blood loss. You can ask your doctor about an alternative formula milk that can be used for your baby.
