Is It Advisable To Start Cow's Milk For A 18 Month Old?
HI! My baby is 18 months.I stopped giving her formula milk and also stopped her bottle simultaneously.I am trying to give her cow's milk in glass.But she drinks just about 100 ml in a day.Now i have few questions.1) Should i dilute the cow's milk in water. 2) Is it ok if she drinks just 100 ml in a day?(I m worried tht she may get weak) 3) Is it too early to stop the bottle? 4) Is it ok to start cow's milk at 18 mths?

Thanks for the query.
Yes you can give the cow's milk after the age of 1 year safely.
Do not dilute the milk.
It should be given undiluted , boiled and cooled.
It is better to avoid bottle, use wati spoon.
At 18 months of age you need not to give much milk, rather you should start with home made solid foods to help weight gain.
Hope i helped you.
