A member asked:

Which milk is better for my 2yr old baby: formula, normal pasteurized cow milk or uht long life cow milk?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Milk: Formula is not appropriate for a 2 year old, and unpasteurized milk increases the risk of Listeria infection. Organic whole milk gets my vote.
