A. Cow's milk also does not contain the healthiest types of fat for growing babies. For these reasons, your baby should not receive any cow's milk (or other non-human milk or milk substitute) until they are about 12 months of age unless no alternative is available.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.your child is under 1 year old, you should not feed your baby cow's milk, Common causes of a breastfeeding strike include: Pain or discomfort. Teething, thrush or a cold sore can cause mouth pain during breastfeeding. An ear infection can cause pain during sucking or lying on one side.Firstly don't get too worried. Refusing milk is usually a phase that your baby will soon get over. Your baby will not starve themselves and is more about them attempting to assume control. Don't let this phase become an issue by over thinking it or letting yourself get sucked into your baby's games!
