Previously, almost all children were fed with cow's milk. But at present, doctors say that if you start feeding a child with this product, which contains protein, early, this can provoke an allergy in the baby in the future. Therefore, young mothers begin to argue with their elders, since grandmothers say that a child can be given milk from an early age.
Doctors say that babies should never be fed with cow's milk. Babies need to be breastfed until they start eating solid foods. Although there are new studies that prove that if a child is given cow's milk in the first days of life, then on the contrary, it will protect babies from various even dangerous allergic reactions. But the fact is that this study was carried out only among those children who did not eat plain cow's milk, but took a special formula for newborns. The simple protein found in cow's milk is very dangerous for children. A child may develop a rash, problems with the respiratory system, and sometimes babies even have a shock, and then a death. We can say that this type of complementary food is regarded by experts in two ways, as well as the issue of vaccinations.
In general, if you are a young mother, you should know that if you did not give your baby cow's milk immediately in the first month of life, then in no case introduce it into the baby's diet until he is one year old.
How to feed a child up to one year old?
You can give your baby a special adapted mixture, which is intended for the child's body, we are talking about acidophilic milk and baby kefir, and there is also a special milk for babies. These dairy products are produced by dairy kitchens, and all products are designed for a different age category.
Why shouldn't cow's milk be given if the child is under one year old?
The fact is that cow's milk contains minerals in large quantities, which cause discomfort in the child's body, especially in babies who have not yet developed the urinary system. As a result, the kidneys in babies become overloaded when this product begins to be excreted from the body.
This dairy product also contains large amounts of sodium and protein. This protein has a different composition, due to which the baby may develop an allergic reaction, and in the future there will be problems even with the use of other dairy products.
