A. Please avoid giving cow's milk before the baby turns one year old. At this age, cow's milk is not easily digestible by the stomach. At this age, iron is essential for baby's growth and development. Iron content is high in breast milk and iron fortified formula milk but it is less in cow's milk. So cow's milk at this age can cause iron deficiency anemia.
