A. Cows milk can be given only by the age of 13 months to the child and that will you will have to dilute the milk by adding about 20 to 30% of water into it because initially it is not easy for a child to digest milk immediately the in the form that you give it to you take care of thatWrite Your Answer Here

A. Hello dear parent, as your child is 6 months and is on formula, try to go ahead with the same. Make sure that he/she is breastfed too as it is the most nutritious milk. As far as giving cow milk is concerned, u must not give it until the age of 1 yr for before that time d baby's digestive system is not strong enough to handle it. Moreover, there are chances of baby developing some kind of allergies. So, care must be taken .
