Although babies usually grow up on milk when they are young, they usually eat milk or formula, and have hardly ever eaten milk. Therefore, many parents do not know when their babies can start eating milk and whether it will be harmful to their health. So, can babies eat milk before the age of two?
Firstly, babies under the age of two are not suitable for consuming milk. At this time, it is better for babies to drink some formula milk. Its composition is more similar to milk. And there are nutrients suitable for babies inside, which are higher in nutritional content than ordinary milk. Moreover, babies who drink milk at this time may experience diarrhea due to the fact that the milk is relatively hard and difficult to digest.
Secondly, for babies under two years old, many types of milk are not suitable for consumption, such as skim milk, which contains fewer nutrients and is not conducive to the growth and development of the baby. Some high calcium milk or dairy products with added calcium are not suitable for babies under two years old, as they may disrupt their nutritional balance and are not beneficial to their physical health.
In addition, there are currently many milk flavored drinks, which are generally considered beverages and not suitable for babies to eat. They may contain a lot of additives, which are not beneficial for the growth and health of babies under two years old, and may also have some side effects. It is recommended to give two-year-old babies formula and complementary foods.
