Bottle-Feeding - Topic Overview

(continued)

continued...

When your baby is 12 months old, he or she can start to drink whole-fat cow's milk. Other kinds of milk, such as goat?s milk, fat-free milk, 1% milk, or 2% milk, don't have as many nutrients as whole-fat milk. It is best not to give your baby these kinds of milk if you can give whole-fat milk instead.
