Patient's question:
Is it better for a nine-month-old child to drink milk or yogurt? This situation with the child has been ongoing for some time, and as parents, we are very concerned. We hope the doctor can give us some advice.Doctor's answer:
Hello, a nine-month-old baby cannot drink pure milk because the digestive system of the baby has not fully developed before the age of two. If pure milk is introduced too early at this stage, it can easily lead to symptoms such as indigestion, and there is even a possibility of causing anemia. Therefore, it is recommended to drink a small amount of pure milk appropriately after the child turns two years old, and before that, it is better to consume some yogurt instead.
