A member asked:
Is it safe for newborn to drink 2% milk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For what reason ?: A newborns brain requires adequate sources of fatty acids and cholesterol to complete their brain development.This is quite important in the first 2 years and 2% milk used for a newborn would lead to growth failure and developmental delay. It would not be toxic over night but i would report a parent who insists on this plan to child protective services.
