A. For a one-year-old Indian child, it is generally recommended to start introducing cow's milk as a part of their diet. However, you should not mix water with cow's milk for a one-year-old unless advised to do so by a pediatrician. At one year of age, a child's digestive system is typically more developed, and they can usually consume whole cow's milk without dilution. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that whole cow's milk can be introduced to a child's diet at one year of age. It provides essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D. There is no specific need to mix water with cow's milk, as it may dilute the nutrients. If you have concerns or questions about your child's diet, it's best to consult with a pediatrician who can provide guidance tailored to your child's specific needs and development. They can advise you on the appropriate diet for your child's age and health.
