POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy3 years agoA. If possible, you should feed your baby breast milk for at least the first 6 months of life. You should give your baby only breast milk or iron-fortified formula during the first 12 months of life, not cow's milk. Starting at age 6 months, you may add solid foods to your baby's diet.Cow's milk is not suitable for children less than 9 to 12 months of age. Cow's milk, when introduced before the age of 9 months, can cause bleeding in the intestines and increase the risk of anemia. Further, cow's milk is so high in protein and minerals that it increases the workload of the kidneys.At 12 months old (but not before), your child can be introduced to cow's milk. Before your child is 12 months old, cow's milk may put him or her at risk for intestinal bleeding. It also has too many proteins and minerals for your baby's kidneys to handle and does not have the right amount of nutrients your baby needs.
