Milk has benefits: Milk has benefits especially for babies. Milk is not designed by nature to feed older children or adults, so we should only use the beneficial parts of the milk. For babies, human milk is the complete food, with carbs, fats, and protein. For toddlers, cow milk can substitute for human milk. For preschoolers and older, milk is a good source of protein, calcium, and vitamin d; but beware of the fat!
