A. Namaste Mom, As the baby is only 4 month old would not recommend that you give them animal milk as of now, prefer plant milk instead such as coconut milk or soya milk

A. It's not recommended to give cow's milk to a four-month-old baby. Here are some key points to consider: 1. Age Recommendation: The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that babies should not be given cow's milk until they are at least 12 months old. Before this age, their digestive systems are not fully developed to handle cow's milk. 2. Nutritional Needs: Infants under 12 months require breast milk or infant formula, which provide the right balance of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals necessary for growth and development. Cow's milk lacks adequate iron, vitamin E, and essential fatty acids for infants. 3. Potential Allergies: Introducing cow's milk too early can increase the risk of allergies or digestive issues. 4. Alternatives: If you're looking for alternatives for nutrition or to supplement your baby's diet, consider sticking with breast milk or infant formula until your baby turns one year old. After that, you can transition to whole cow's milk if you choose. If you have concerns about your baby's nutrition or are considering introducing other types of milk, it's best to consult your pediatrician for personalized advice.
