If a 8 month old is eating a well balanced diet and they can cow milk in breakfast cereal and cooking, why can't they have cow milks to drink? It is just a wondering as I was talking to my mother and she was staying that when I was young babies only had formula until they were 6 months old and she asked me why it had changed as we all grow up OK! and I didn't really know. DO people reckon it is mainly due to the formula mancfactueres puttng pressure on or what? What damage could cows milk do?
Thank you
