New parents want to give their babies the very best. When it comes to
nutrition, the best first food for babies is breast milk. Experts
recommend that babies be breast-fed for six to 12 months. The only
acceptable alternative to breast milk is infant formula. Solid foods
can be introduced when the baby is 4 to 6 months old, but a baby should
drink breast milk or formula, not cow’s milk, for a full year. Cow’s
milk contains a different type of protein than breast milk. This is
good for calves, but human infants can have difficulty digesting it.
Bottle-fed infants tend to be fatter than breast-fed infants, but not
necessarily healthier.
