Brief Answer:
Yes, cow milk can be given

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Can understand your concerns.

Cow milk can be given. Breast milk is best for baby followed by formula milk followed by cow milk.

If there are no financial issues then continue giving formula feed. Cow milk should be undiluted and toned milk is preferred over full cream milk.

Marks due to milk will go away gradually. There is no need to apply any cream for that.

Wishing your child good health.
Take care.
