Cow milk is good for 18month baby ?

2 Answers

Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 years ago

A. 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 couhld be micro bleeding in intestine because of the heavy protein of cow's milk .To start with cow's milk should be given than gradually you can shift to buffalo milk or a pacjket milk which is a mixture of two .

A. Hello dear parent! Above one year you can start giving your child outside milk like cow milk or buffalo milk or packet milk. Start giving in small quantities to check the suitability and for better assimilation. Limit the dairy intake to maximum of 500 ml per day. Serve healthy foods in cute Babyhug stainless steel bowls and plates to encourage healthy eating.
