Ragini SharmaMom of a 1 yr 7 m old boy1 Year agoA. At 12 months old (but not before), your child can be introduced to cow's milk...it's very difficult to digest for small babies...If possible, you should feed your baby breast milk or formula along some semi soild food....you can start Aptamil Gold Stage 2 definitely..Aptamil Gold is good , it's said to be close to mother's milk. it has prebiotics and HMOs which helps baby healthy growth ...
NiharikaMom of a 5 yr 9 m old boy1 Year agoA. after 6 months you can begin but with less quantity to understand how the baby body is able to take it.

POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. It's generally recommended to wait until your baby is at least 12 months old before introducing cow's milk as a main drink. Here's why:
1. **Nutritional Needs**: Breast milk or formula provides the essential nutrients and calories that babies need for healthy growth and development during the first year of life. Cow's milk does not contain the right balance of nutrients for infants, particularly in terms of protein, fat, and certain vitamins and minerals.
2. **Digestive System**: Babies' digestive systems are still developing during the first year, and cow's milk can be hard for them to digest, leading to potential digestive discomfort or allergies.
3. **Iron Absorption**: Cow's milk can interfere with the absorption of iron in the body, which is crucial for your baby's brain development and overall health.
4. **Risk of Allergies**: Introducing cow's milk too early can increase the risk of developing allergies or intolerances to milk proteins.
Instead of cow's milk, continue to feed your baby breast milk or formula as their primary source of nutrition until they are at least 12 months old. At around 6 months old, you can start introducing solid foods alongside breast milk or formula to support your baby's increasing nutritional needs.
Always consult with your pediatrician before introducing any new foods or beverages to your baby's diet to ensure they are developmentally ready and to address any specific concerns or recommendations based on your baby's health and individual needs.
