SharmishthaMom of a 1 yr 3 m old girl3 months agoA. no cow milk till 2 year It's generally recommended to wait until a baby is 6 months old before introducing solids like Cerelac. While some parents may introduce solids slightly earlier, it's crucial to consult with a pediatrician for personalized advice and to ensure your baby is ready for the transition.

Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years agoA. Cow's milk should be given to the baby only after completion of 1 year of age because the protein and fat in cow's milk is hard to digest before that and many a times there could be cow's milk protein allergy in babies and lactose intolerance which could be severe sometimes.
Also early introduction of cows milk can lead to iron deficiency anemia as cow's milk lacks iron and vit c . Also there could be micro bleeding in intestine because of the heavfy protein of cow's milk .To start with cow's milk should be given than gradually you can dshift to buffalo milk or a packet milk which is a mixture of two .
