A. Yes, you can give fresh cow's milk to your baby after one year of age. Here are some important points to consider: 1. Whole Milk: Choose whole milk for your child, as it provides essential fats necessary for growth and brain development. 2. Gradual Introduction: Introduce cow's milk gradually, starting with small amounts. This allows you to monitor for any allergic reactions or digestive issues. 3. Balanced Diet: Ensure that milk is part of a balanced diet that includes other food groups. Fresh fruits, vegetables, grains, and protein sources should also be included. 4. Limit Intake: Limit milk intake to about 16-24 ounces (2-3 cups) per day to avoid excessive consumption, which can interfere with iron absorption and lead to iron-deficiency anemia. 5. Avoid Skim or Low-Fat Milk: Avoid giving skim or low-fat milk until your child is at least 2 years old, as they need the extra fat for growth. 6. Monitor for Lactose Intolerance: If your baby shows signs of discomfort, such as gas, diarrhea, or a rash after drinking milk, consult your pediatrician. If you have any specific concerns or dietary restrictions, it's always a good idea to consult with your pediatrician for personalized advice.
