When can babies drink cow's milk?

Answer by  Brittney (1095)

The doctors normally like for the baby to be at least a year old before they start drinking milk straight from the cow.

Unless otherwise advised by a doctor, the guideline for cow's milk is one year of age. They should drink whole milk as opposed to low-fat.

Babies can start drinking cows milk at the age of 1 but not recommended for babies before this age because cow milks contains high levels of vitamins and growth hormones that the babies body will not be able to digest. Also, mother's milk is more advantageous for the baby and provides proper nourishment.
