POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. Yes, you can give packaged milk (such as pasteurized cow's milk) to children under 7 years old, but it’s important to choose age-appropriate options and consider the following:
1. **Whole Milk:** For children under 2 years old, whole milk is typically recommended because it provides essential fats for growth and development.
2. **Low-Fat or Skim Milk:** For children older than 2 years, you can transition to lower-fat options, but always ensure they get enough healthy fats from other sources in their diet.
3. **Check for Allergies:** Be aware of any milk allergies or intolerances that might affect your child. If milk causes any adverse reactions, consult a healthcare professional.
4. **Nutrient Balance:** Ensure milk is part of a balanced diet that includes a variety of other nutrients from fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins.
5. **Hydration:** While milk is nutritious, also ensure your child drinks water throughout the day for proper hydration.
Always choose milk that is pasteurized to ensure it’s safe for consumption and follow your pediatrician's recommendations regarding dairy intake.
