Question
Can sheep milk and cow’s milk be given together to a 6-month-old baby?
Answer
For a 6-month-old baby, due to the need for a variety of nutrients after weaning, it is appropriate to mix sheep milk and cow’s milk in moderation. However, at this stage, the baby should begin to introduce complementary foods such as rice porridge, fruit juice, vegetable soup, as well as egg yolks and fish and meat products, to ensure a balanced diet. When introducing new foods, the portion should be gradually increased while observing for any allergic reactions or adverse reactions in the baby. Additionally, the baby’s diet should be diverse and not solely rely on milk, otherwise it may lead to malnutrition and digestive problems.
