POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. It is generally recommended to wait until your baby is at least 1 year old before introducing cow's milk. Before this age, babies need the specific nutrients found in breast milk or formula, which are essential for their growth and development. Here are a few reasons why waiting until 1 year is important:
1. **Nutritional Needs**: Breast milk or formula provides the right balance of nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that babies need in their first year.
2. **Digestive System**: A baby's digestive system is not mature enough to handle the high levels of protein and minerals in cow's milk, which can stress their kidneys.
3. **Iron Absorption**: Cow's milk can interfere with the absorption of iron and can also cause minor internal bleeding in the intestines, leading to iron-deficiency anemia.
When you do start introducing cow's milk after the first year, begin with whole milk, as the fat content is essential for your baby's brain development. You can gradually transition to lower-fat options as recommended by your pediatrician as your child grows older.
