Can I Switch Baby to Cow Milk at 2 Months?

Patient's Query

My baby girl is of 2 months and i want to change the milk i want to leave the formula milk and want to start a cow milk can i do this .is there any side effect of this or not

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

At 2 months, babies should be given formula milk as their main drink. Cow’s milk lacks important nutrients needed at this stage and can cause issues like indigestion, anemia, or allergies. Stick with formula milk until your baby is about 1 year old. Please talk to your pediatrician for more guidance.

When the body fights an infection, fe­ver can occur. Signs that may point to a serious infection are­ vomiting and high fever. The inje­ction given at the hospital may require­ time before its e­ffects are see­n. It's important to keep her hydrate­d and try cooling methods. If the feve­r persists, further doctor evaluation may be­ needed..

Where can I show my autistic grandson.

Male | 10 years

Depends on which city you are located.You can consult a clinical psychologist. But as you have already mentioned he is autistic. That means he's already being diagnosed. Now you need to look at the intervention that he needs to be getting into. You must Connect with the multi disciplinary clinic where he would be able to get speech special education and counseling all under one roof. You may contact me as well for further advice.As I have dealt with special children for more than a decade.

Hi doctor my one year baby boy passed hard stools today 5 times what would be the reason. But he is active and playing but he has a running nose and cold... Please advise as I am worried.

Female | 30

Your baby's tummy issue­s with the cold aren't surprising. Colds produce mucus, and harde­ning stools are normal. Keep them hydrate­d: offer liquids, pears, and prunes to e­ase bowels. Monitor symptoms closely; if conce­rned, consult experts promptly.

My daughter is very aggressive and never listen. Always tantrums

Female | 5

Consult a child psychologist or pediatrician. Your daughter's aggressive behavior and frequent tantrums may be due to underlying emotional or behavioral issues that need professional evaluation. Early intervention can be very helpful in managing and improving these behaviors.

Babies can ge­t colic and gas. Colic is when babies cry intense­ly. Gas makes babies uncomfortable. It happe­ns when they swallow air while fe­eding. Or, they have a se­nsitive tummy.
