POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy8 months agoA. It's generally not recommended to give cow's milk to a 6-month-old baby as a main source of nutrition. Breast milk or formula is ideal for babies under 12 months because it provides the necessary nutrients and is easier to digest.
Cow's milk can be harder for babies to digest and may not provide the right balance of nutrients for growth. Additionally, it could lead to iron deficiency or allergic reactions in some babies.
You can, however, introduce small amounts of cow's milk into foods, such as mixed into porridge or mashed vegetables, after 6 months. But it's important to avoid replacing breast milk or formula with cow's milk entirely before your baby turns 12 months.
Always consult with your pediatrician before making any changes to your baby's diet.
