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.

If I am giving my baby milk, how much should they have?

Suggested Dairy Intake for Babies and Toddlers
• None for infants 0-3 months
• None for infants 4-5 months
• None for infants 6-8 months
• Small servings for infants 9-12 months
• 20 – 24 oz. whole milk for toddlers 1-2 years

The fussy baby can be an underslept baby.

Before I had children, I just assumed that since baby animals sleep and eat with no training, human babies would too, right?  Well,  now as a mother of three, I know how wrong I was.  Human babies need plenty of training.  The curse of our bigger brain, I guess.
