A. below 1 year of age, do not give cow milk.

Janani ViswanathanMom of 2 children4 years ago

A. If the baby is under 1 year of age she should give only Breastmilk or formula. If above one year she can give cows milk. Formula is prescribed based on the baby's weight and growth levels. And every baby is different. Also different brands come with different composition to meet the varied needs of babies. So you should consult your pediatrician and get the right formula prescribed for your baby.
