POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. At 8 months, your baby can still be exclusively on formula milk (like Lactogen), and it's not necessary to introduce cow or buffalo milk just yet. Cow’s milk (or buffalo milk) is generally not recommended as the primary drink until your baby is at least 1 year old. This is because cow's milk doesn’t have the appropriate balance of nutrients needed for babies under one year, especially in terms of iron, and it can be hard on their digestive system.
For now, it's best to continue with the formula milk or breastfeed if possible, as both provide the right nutrition. When your baby turns 1, you can start introducing whole cow's milk or buffalo milk if needed. Always discuss any changes to your baby’s diet with your pediatrician for guidance on transitioning to other milks.
