Question
Some parents are concerned, if a baby has a weak constitution, whether it is suitable to consume cow’s first MilkPowder on a long-term basis? What precautions should be taken when choosing such products?
Answer
According to expert opinions, it is not recommended for children to take cow’s first milk on a long-term basis as it may increase the risk of precocious puberty. Tonics like Cordyceps, Ginseng, Osmanthus Dried Fruits, Lychee Dried Fruits, Astragalus, and Sand Root, as well as other nutritional supplements containing high levels of sex hormones such as silkworm eggs, chicken embryos, placenta, royal jelly, cow’s first milk, and pollen preparations, may trigger precocious puberty. Unlike human colostrum, cow’s first milk is not believed to effectively enhance the body’s immunity and may merely be a commercial marketing tactic. Therefore, when considering nutritional supplements for babies, it is important to carefully assess their safety and necessity.
