ways to increase breast milk

Question

Accepted Answer

No, cow’s milk is not safe as a main drink for a 9-month-old baby. At this age, a baby’s digestive system is not fully developed to handle the high protein and mineral content in cow’s milk, which can cause digestive issues, iron deficiency, and kidney strain.

However, small amounts of cow’s milk can be used in cooking, such as mixing it with porridge or mashed foods. Until 12 months of age, continue with breast milk or formula as the primary source of nutrition. If you are considering introducing cow’s milk in any form, consult a pediatrician for guidance.
