A member asked:
At what age can a baby start drinking cows milk? full cream or long life?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
First birthday: A baby under 12 months of age is too young for any kind of milk that is not breast milk or a baby formula created for babies. The combination of nutrients in cow milk or other kinds of milk is not balanced correctly for young babies. In the US, babies don't start drinking cow milk (called whole milk or full cream milk, and pasteurized for safety) until their first birthday.
