Question

At What Age Can Children Drink Fresh Milk?

Answer

During the infancy and early childhood stages (0~7 years old), it is advisable to use specially formulated infant formula milk instead of drinking milk directly. This is because milk is originally intended as a feed for calves and is not entirely suitable as a primary food for infants. While milk has a higher protein content than breast milk, four-fifths of it is casein. This type of protein has fewer essential amino acids and forms larger clumps, making it difficult to digest.
