POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy6 months agoA. No, cow’s milk is not safe for a 5-month-old baby. At this age, your baby should only have breast milk or formula milk, as cow’s milk can cause digestive issues, allergies, and iron deficiency anemia.
Why Cow’s Milk is Not Recommended? Hard to Digest – High protein and mineral content can strain the baby’s immature kidneys. Lacks Essential Nutrients – Does not provide the right balance of vitamins and iron needed for growth. Risk of Allergies – Can cause allergies or lactose intolerance in some babies. Can Cause Intestinal Bleeding – Some infants may develop minor internal bleeding in the intestines. When Can You Introduce Cow’s Milk?
Cow’s milk should be introduced after 1 year of age, but it should not replace a balanced diet. Until then, continue with breast milk or formula for proper nutrition. If you need an alternative, consult a pediatrician before making any changes.
