A. It is recommended to introduce cow milk only after baby turns 1 year old as till then baby's immunity and digestive system are not fully developed. Cow milk takes time to digest and may cause indiges,vomit and loss of appetite. Therefore, continue feeding formula milk Stage 2 till atleast 12 months.
