Question
Can a baby under six months drink sweet rice wine?
Answer
Although milk is rich in nutrients and almost contains all the nutrients needed by the human body, the linoleic acid content in milk is only one fiftieth of that in breast milk, and the concentration of sodium and chloride ions is much lower than that in breast milk. If fed long-term, it is as if feeding the baby saltwater. Additionally, the calcium content in milk is three times that of breast milk, which may be harmful to infants under six months old and could pose a risk of renal failure.
