A. For your two-year-old boy, cow’s milk is generally a better choice compared to buffalo milk. Here’s why: Easier to Digest: Cow's milk is generally easier to digest for young children. It has a lower fat content than buffalo milk, which makes it a more balanced option for toddlers. Nutritional Balance: Cow's milk contains the right proportions of fat, protein, and vitamins required for a growing toddler. Buffalo milk is richer in fat and calories, which might be too heavy for a young child’s stomach and can potentially lead to weight gain or digestive issues if consumed excessively. Protein and Calcium: Both cow’s and buffalo milk provide a good source of protein and calcium, but cow’s milk is generally preferred because of its better balance of these nutrients suited for a toddler’s needs. Allergy Considerations: Some children may be sensitive to the proteins in buffalo milk, so cow's milk is often a safer, more widely tolerated option. If your child has lactose intolerance or a milk allergy, you can opt for lactose-free cow's milk or plant-based milk (such as fortified soy or almond milk), but it’s important to consult your pediatrician if you’re making this change. In general, whole cow's milk is a recommended choice for toddlers under 5 years of age.
