Many mothers, when taking care of their babies, see that their babies want to drink fresh milk and wonder if they can let them drink it. Moreover, babies are very interested in the fresh milk that adults drink, and may pick it up and drink it themselves when their parents do not take good care of it. So, can a one year old baby drink fresh milk?
At the age of one, babies cannot drink fresh milk as their digestive system is not fully developed. The nutrients in fresh milk cannot be well digested by their digestive system, which not only adds some burden to their digestive system, but also causes indigestion due to poor digestion of food. Mild cases may affect their appetite, while severe cases may lead to food accumulation, which has a significant impact on their physical health.
Parents should know that one year old babies are either breastfed or formula fed. The nutritional ratio of formula milk powder is relatively scientific, which is tailored to the nutritional needs of babies in this age group. Eating formula milk powder is more acceptable and beneficial for their healthy growth.
A one year old baby can already eat a lot of complementary foods in addition to drinking milk. Therefore, parents should not only let their babies drink milk, but also add more complementary foods to them. On the one hand, it lays the foundation for the baby to establish good eating habits in the future. In addition, adding complementary foods reasonably can not only meet the body's absorption of various nutrients, but also help their dental health.
