You can drink a little yogurt in sufficient quantity, but it is mainly recommended to consume specialized infant formula milk. Suggestions: From infancy to early childhood (0-7 years), it is recommended to use specialized infant formula milk instead of drinking cow's milk directly. Cow's milk is originally a feed for calves and is not entirely suitable as a main food for infants. Although the protein content in cow's milk is lower than that in breast milk, 4/5 of it is casein. Among them, there are fewer essential amino acids, and the formed curds are larger, making it difficult to absorb. Cow's milk has fewer unsaturated fatty acids, larger fat globules, and lacks lipase, which is beneficial for absorption and refinement. Its lactose content is higher than that of breast milk, and it is based on alpha-lactose, requiring added sugar to reduce calories.
