Patient's question:
Some people say that children should not drink pure fresh milk until they are three years old. Is this statement correct? Please provide a reason for whether it is correct or not.Doctor's answer:
??????Hello, it is best for children under 3 to drink formula milk, as it is comprehensive in nutrition and beneficial for digestion and absorption. Morning and evening are the best times to drink milk. Drinking milk during breakfast provides sufficient nutritional support for the day's energy; drinking milk at night not only helps sleep but also aids the body in absorbing its nutritional components. It is not advisable to drink on an empty stomach. Milk should not be consumed with foods containing tannic acid, such as strong tea or persimmons. These foods can react with milk to form clumps, affecting digestion.
