Dr Sameer awadhiyaGuardian of 2 children3 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 iront 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 shtould be given than gradually you can shift to buffalo milk or a packet milk which is a mixture of two .

RashmiMom of a 11 yr old girl3 years agoA. Hello If you’re breastfeeding is not enough for the child you can go ahead with giving formula feeding to the child but cows milk is not recommended before the age of one year so please do not give it to the child it would not be a safe option to work over
