A. Yes, by the time your baby is one year old, it is generally safe to introduce animal milk, such as cow's or buffalo's milk, as part of their diet. Here are some guidelines: How Much Animal Milk to Give: Recommended Amount: You can give your baby about 2 to 3 servings (16-24 ounces or 500-700 ml) of milk per day. This includes milk given with meals or in-between as snacks. Tips for Introducing Animal Milk: 1. Start Gradually: If your baby is new to animal milk, start by offering a small amount and gradually increase it to see how they tolerate it. 2. Whole Milk: Up until age two, it is recommended to give whole (full-fat) milk for the extra fat needed for brain development. 3. Balance with Solids: Make sure milk does not replace solid foods. At this age, solid foods should make up a significant part of your baby’s diet, with milk being complementary. 4. Ensure Other Sources of Calcium: Apart from milk, you can also give calcium-rich foods like yogurt and cheese. Watch for Signs of Intolerance: Some babies may have trouble digesting animal milk or may be allergic to cow’s milk protein. Signs to watch for include: Vomiting Diarrhea Skin rashes Gas or bloating Fussiness If you notice any of these signs or if you’re unsure, it’s best to consult with your pediatrician before continuing.
