A. Politely ask them not to give cow's milk till one year of age as it can cause damage to the intestinal mucosa. Continue with breastfeeding , if needed do complimentary feeding after 6 months of age, and if more needed give formula milk that's better than cow's milk for first year of life.

A. At 12 months old (but not before), your child can be introduced to cow's milk. Before your child is 12 months old, cow's milk may put him or her at risk for intestinal bleeding. It also has too many proteins and minerals for your baby's kidneys to handle and does not have the right amount of nutrients your baby needs.
