2 Answers
Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children2 years ago
A. Cow's milk should be given to the baby only after completion of 1 year of age because the protein and fat in cow's milk is hard to digest before that and many a times there could be cow's milk protein allergy in babies and lactose intolerance which could be severe sometimes. Also early introduction of cows milk can lead to iron deficiency anemia as cow's milk lacks iron and vit c . Also there could be micro bleeding in intestine becaguse of the heavy protein of cow's milk .To start with cow's milk should be given than gradually yodu can shift to buffalo milk or a packet milk which is a mixture of two .

A. Animal milk can only be given after the age of 13 months and that too by adding about 20 to 30% of water into it and that is how you should be giving to the child it is going to be easier for your child to digest that way
