A 2-year-old baby's body is constantly growing, and at this time, they need more nutrition. In addition to normal meals, they also need to eat some other foods. Parents think that fresh milk is good and has many benefits for their baby's growth. So, can a 2-year-old baby drink fresh milk?
The probiotics in fresh milk are limited, and drinking too much can cause constipation and internal heat in babies. It is not recommended for babies to drink. However, 2-year-old babies can add a small amount, but they must drink less, otherwise their bodies will not be able to absorb it and other hazards may occur. If parents have good economic conditions, it is still okay to let their babies drink formula milk powder until they start kindergarten.
There are certain requirements for what babies should eat at each month of age, for example, it is better for 6-month-old babies to drink breast milk or formula, and for 6-month-old babies to slowly add thinner and softer complementary foods, but still drink milk as the main food. For a 2-year-old baby who has already weaned, their main source of food is food, and for fresh milk, it is best to drink less.
When the baby grows up to 2 years old, they should focus on three meals a day and turn their previous complementary foods into staple foods. The demand for milk powder will also be much lower than before. However, in order to have more comprehensive nutrition, it is better to drink some milk powder every day, around 400 milliliters per day. If the baby does not want to drink it, parents should not force the baby at this time.
