Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children2 years agoA. 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 because of the heavy protein of cow's milk .To start with cow's milk should be giveggn than gradually you cran shift to buffalo milk or a packet milk which is a mixture of two .
AbhayaMom of a 15 yr 9 m old boy2 years agoA. Hi mom
cow milk is not recommended for the babies below one year.
It is high in protein so difficult for the baby to digest it.
Either continue to breastfeed ur baby or give formula milk to ur baby till one year
