Hi,

My baby is now 4 months old. I had been giving her cow' s mil since the age of one month. Some doctor suggest to give formulae mil and some say to give cow' s milk. I am li' l confused . pls suggest me which milk is better. I give her packet milk after diluting it with water and put li' l sugar in it. SS replied. I never wanted to start top feed but due to low production I had to start it...thrice a day. I have recently joined back office, baby is 4 months now.But is it ok if I start giving her Lactogen now??else she will be week.as u all said cow' s milk doesn' t give proper nutrition. Athi replied. Hi SS,
Its is better to go with Formula since i heard cow milk cause diabetic. once i started in her 6th month but Dr.Refused , they said outside milk is only after 1 years .For me , i suggest everyone to give formula as ramya said got lot of nutrition , once u start soild after 6th or 8th u can reduce formula.
Since formula got lot of vitamin , iron and mineral , cow milk is only to give weight gain for ur baby .
gauri replied. i hv learnt on this board about formula milk is better for babies...but i started giving cow milk since 3 motnhs as i had to join work...no harm in giving that ....but initially its ok if u add water ...but once ur baby is use to it then dont add too much of water ...
n pllllllllllssssssss dont gv sugar...stop it at once...
by the way y did u start cow milk so soon ...
u must excludively gv ur baby bf for 6 motnhs ...stricly...but due to some health prob...low milk prduction or u hv to gv back to wrok..then u start b4 6 motnhs...but 3 months a baby should be given bm only...coz after 3 motnhs baby becomes strong..immunity develops...thats what i was told by my doc...
anyways u can continue now no harm...but start solids after 6 motnhs now...nachni will be very nustritious .... mandee replied. If I was u I would have stick to formula milk as formula milk has more nutritions as the manf. adds more vitamin, iron and mineral etc in it and is neccesary for baby development
while cow milk will provide some but not all what r required by such a small baby. normally cow milk is intoduce when baby start eat soilds as they can get essentional vitamins and minerals from fruit and vegetables. hope this is any help to u. ramya replied. hi there.u have started giving cows milk thn u can continue with it there is no harm.butdont add sugar in it. sirisha replied. you r already giving cow milk.that will be no problem , she is fine now.Don' t put sugar in it until 1 year.
some babies are allregic to some formulas and again it is different worls.You can continue with cow milk without suGAR
