POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy11 months agoA. Cow's milk can generally be introduced into a baby’s diet around 12 months of age. Before this age, babies primarily need breast milk or formula, which provide the necessary nutrients for their development. Introducing cow's milk too early can lead to digestive issues and may increase the risk of iron deficiency anemia because cow's milk is low in iron and can interfere with iron absorption .
Once your child turns one year old, you can start incorporating whole cow's milk into their diet as a drink or in foods. It's recommended to offer whole milk for its higher fat content, which is essential for your child's growth and brain development during their early years .
Always consult your pediatrician before making significant changes to your child's diet, especially if you have any concerns about allergies or intolerances .
