Cow's milk should not be introduced to babies below 1 year. It is very difficult for them to digest because of its high level of potassium, chloride and sodium. Cow's milk doesn't contain all the vitamins and minerals that is needed for proper growth and development of baby below 1 year. So please wait until your baby is 1 year.

I have given it to my 5 month old baby... and he poops becomes so hard due to low level of water in cow's milk, as it cant be given solely... There r many issues in cows milk... its breed... its food.... we r not in a village where proper care of cattles taken place. So,I hv a bad exp and my sweety doesnt like its taste too.. So,think twice.

I am giving cow milk to my 3 months old baby. I don't see any problem in his digestion infact earlier he has constipation when he was on my feed solely but he is absolutely fine now. I think it depends whether it suits to ur baby or not. I wud suggest try for a day or two. Then you will get to know on ur own whether u shud give it or not.

cow's milk is hard to digest for baby if given without adding water,if it's diluted people do give it to babies without any side effects.. *(not recommended by doctors ,as BF is must till 6 months or formula milk if bf is not adequate) though I feel when formula milk wasn't available in masses how mother's used to feed der babies if their BF wasn't adequate

my daughter is 8 months old n I introduced cow's milk wen she was 5 months , its pretty gud than formula but only problem raised was tat she developed mild allergy around her mouth , later doc said its common n so I m still continuing. cow's milk doesn't contain any artificial proteins so I do suggest tat.

Hi it depends upon wat u had used her all these days . cow's milk isn't suitable for all babies . if u have been giving her formula milk do it till she turns one yr. Try giving cow milk in the morning if she is fine n no complaints. gradually stop using formula milk.
