Hello Kavita, cow milk is not recommended for babies till 1 year by all pediatricians as babies can't digest lactose before 1 year of their age. You can give your baby formula feed... but please keep in mind it may cause mild constipation. So give smashed ripe papaya side by side.

Yes DEBASHREE BHATTACHARYA her pediatrician also told me that for most of the babies cow milk is not suitable but suggested me to use packed cow milk only if she digest ... I am giving her since she was 4 months old and she is healthy and till now do not experience any health issue.
