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 f and vit c . Also there could be micro bleeding in intestine because vof the heavy protein of cow's milk .To start with cow's milk should be given than gradually you can shift to buffalo milk or a packet milk which is a mixture of two .

A. Siri no animal milk is actually recommended before the age of one year so I cannot advise you to go for that so you will have to go ahead with either breastfeeding or formula feeding whatever you think is going to be feasible for the childWrite Your Answer Here
