Got Milk?
If you are drinking cow’s milk and your baby is acting colicky, the two could be related. You don’t have to be feeding your baby cow’s milk for it to affect them. If you are eating many, or even some, milk products this could be affecting your baby.
American Pediatrics and Cow’s Milk
For the best infant nutrition, pick the right milk source and eventually introduce the infant to solid foods. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that infants be fed breast milk or iron-fortified formula during the first 12 months of life. Between ages 4 – 6 months, certain solid foods may be added. Breast milk or iron-fortified formula, along with age-appropriate solid foods and juices, during the first year of life provides the most balanced nutrition.
If your baby is having symptoms of colic, then getting rid of the cow’s milk in your and your baby’s diet is a great place to start.
