Question 1

is tetra pack long shelf  life cow milk as good for babies as fresh short shelf life cow milk? the tetra pack milk may have some preservatives in it.

Accepted Answer

Maybe: From what I understand in the packaging of shelf-stable milk such as Tetra pack, there is no additional preservatives.  The milk is ultra-pasteurized, and the packaging is sterile, allowing long-term storage without refrigeration.  However, it is not recommended to start cow's milk products until your baby is at least 1 year old.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Normal Variant: 3 month old should be taken 150ml-200ml/kg/day of milk average.   Sometimes there are periods when children eat more (growth spur) or less (sleep more for ex.).  If the 3 month old is acting as usual, has no other symptom (fever, cough, runny nose, diarrhea, etc), is urinating normal (at least 3 wet diapers a day) then no worries.  If not needs to be seen by his/hers pediatrician.

Question 8

is whole milk good?

Accepted Answer

Whole Milk: It is neither good nor bad.  It has 4% milk fat. Low fat milk has 2% milk fat and skim milk has 1 to 1/2% milk fat. What you drink depends on your taste and your daily caloric intake and your age. Very young children need fats to build their brains and bodies so need higher milk fats. Older people do not need the fats and certainly those with cholesterol problems do not need whole milk.
