Can I give my 6 month old baby cow milk ?

Well I gave my 6 month baby cow milk is that okay for her

your not supposed to

is it that bad for her I'm waiting for her w.I.c to come in

You're not meant to before the age of 1 - the risk is to do with allergies, I think, so it is quite serious. I guess that in emergencies cow's milk would be OK (to avoid starvation etc) but otherwise it's best to follow the advice given.

Absolutely not. Floss is right, wait till the baby is at least 12 months old.

bad idea...the bacteria in cow milk could make your baby sick...and (in the worst case, god forbid) lead to death if untreated in time...breast feeding is the best way...u could also get special milk from your pharmacy for the baby

The baby doesn't have the necessary tools in its tummy to digest it. It could have an allergic reaction like throwing up profusely. Don't give it cow milk 'til 12months.

It is important to wait until your baby is one year old, as cow's milk doesn't contain sufficient iron to recommend its use before then, although small amounts of cow's milk can be used in cooking from six months. Infant formula milks and follow-on milks contain more iron and vitamins than cow's milk, and are the only alternative to breastfeeding for the first year. After the first six months of breastfeeding, breastmilk is not a good source of iron, so breastfeeding mums should make sure that weaning foods contain plenty of iron. This means using foods such as lean red meats, iron fortified breakfast cereals, purées of dried fruit, and tofu in your baby's diet.
