A. Cow's milk should be introduced to the child only after 1 year of age . Earlier introduction of cows milk can lead to micro bleeding in the digestive tract. It's also dfreficient in iron vit E,C and essential fatty acid. It's also lacking ideal proportion of protein and fats present in breast milk or any formula milk .
