Is soya milk better than cow milk for babies?

Answer 1

No. Soy milk doesn't have some of the nutrients and fat that milk does. Soy milk is lower in fat than milk, plus it doesn't has as much Vit. B12 and calcium as what a baby needs. Homogenized milk is better for the health of a or toddler.

Answer 2

Cow milk is not ok for newborn babies. Most babies are particularly sensitive to the lactose in cow's milk. It also does not have the nutrients that babies require for growth and development. You should not use cow milk as a substitute for breast milk. If necessary you should use infant formula as an alternative to breast milk.

Answer 3

Cow milk lacks iron in it. If kids consume cow milk most of the time, it will reduce the iron intake in their meal. Secondly, the dairy products inhibit iron absorption into the body. Also, cow milk is not easy to digest as compared to formula milk. These are some of the reasons cow milk is not fed to newborn babies younger than 9 months.

Answer 4

Soya milk is very different from milk and breast milk. While breast milk is best, cow's milk is pretty close. I would not recommend soya milk without consulting with a doctor.

Answer 5

Organic cow milk is the best for everybody.
