At what age can milk be?

Everyone knows that babies up to a year are called"babies". The reason is obvious - during this period the children are fed mother's breast milk. However, it is difficult to call modern babies pectorals. For various reasons, a woman can not always breast-feed a baby. Then the question arises: how old can milk be?

When you can give your child regular milk

There are generally accepted norms, according to whichto introduce lure (dairy products and milk) can be from 8 months. Here it is worth to clarify that until 3 years old pediatricians recommend only specialized baby milk (!), Which is made from quality raw materials.

On the recommendation of doctors, a whole (cow orgoat) milk should be introduced into the baby's diet no younger than one year. Up to one year, milk should be diluted with water (130 ml of milk per 70 ml of water) and normally boiled (3-4 minutes).

How much milk does a child need and what is better:

On the day of a child from 1 to 1.5 years can be 450-500 ml of milk and dairy products; 1,5-3 years - 400-500 ml.

Very little more useful cow's milk, tk. Goat contains a casein - a substance difficult for mastering a child's body. The Ministry of Health does not recommend giving goat's milk to babies until 2 years old, in order to avoid stress on the digestive tract and other organs of the child.
