What Is The Suggestion For Hyperactivity After Drinking Whole Cow's Milk?

My 13 month old grandson seems to become hyper after drinking whole cow's milk. We and his parents are just transitioning him from coconut milk (he was on breast milk for the first year) to cow's milk. Apparently last night they had a hard time getting him to sleep after he drank 6oz milk.

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Difficulty in getting him to sleep without excessive crying or any rash or alterations in stools is unlikely to be due to introduction of cow milk.
Start with small quantity and you can slowly increase it.

Rest be assured there is no cause for concern.

Take care
