POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. Yes, you can give both cow's milk and Lactogen 3 to your 2-year-old baby, but there are a few things to consider:
1. **Nutritional Balance**: At 2 years old, your child should be transitioning to a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods. Cow's milk is a good source of calcium and vitamin D, while Lactogen 3 is formulated to meet the specific nutritional needs of young children. However, giving both in moderation is important to avoid overfeeding or excess nutrient intake.
2. **Quantity**: Ensure you are not giving too much milk in total (from both cow's milk and Lactogen 3). The recommended daily intake of milk for a 2-year-old is around 2-3 cups (about 480-720 ml).
3. **Introduction**: If your child is not used to cow's milk, introduce it gradually to ensure they tolerate it well and to monitor for any potential allergies or digestive issues.
4. **Diet Variety**: While milk is important, ensure your child also gets a variety of foods, including fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins, to meet all nutritional needs.
If you have any concerns or specific dietary questions, it’s always best to consult your pediatrician.
