Why children under the age of one should not be given milk
Why children under the age of one should not be given milk
Cow's milk - what does it give the baby: benefit or harm? What is the reason that it is not recommended to introduce children into the ration before the age of one? The answers to these questions are not as straightforward as one might think. Today, most experts are inclined towards excluding milk from the child's complementary foods for up to a year.

1
In order to answer the questions posed,scientists around the world have conducted many experiments. The result of the research was that the milk of a cow and a woman are fundamentally different. Therefore, they will create the conditions necessary for the development of their cubs.
2
Two fundamental differences, whichspecialists emphasize, these are the different growth rates of children and calves and differences in their needs for micro- and macroelements. In connection with this, different types of food will not suit each other.
3
The main thing in the development of calves is rapid growth. They are no different from adults in two years. While human children at this time are still very young and have other needs. In the first year of life, children need food not so much for physical growth as for the development of the brain. And here we need a completely different set of substances. In particular, polyunsaturated fatty acids, which in human milk are enough to improve the brain of the child, which can not be said about the cow's milk.
4
The content of the protein responsible for the growth rate inCow's milk is more than three times that in breast milk of a woman. Adapted mixtures also have an excessive amount of protein. But its number is still less than in the cow.
5
The composition of cow's milk contains so muchsalt, calcium and phosphorus, which is three times higher than their concentration in the milk of a woman. In such a number of these substances the body does not need a baby. Therefore, the child's still hardened and undeveloped output device works with overload. The kidneys perform a greater load than the one on which they are designed.
6
The difference in the composition of these two types of milk is enormous. In cow's milk there are no amino acids, such as taurine and cystine. These amino acids have a positive effect on the heart and liver, respectively. There is also no folic acid. And this substance is very important in the development of babies.
7
Cow's milk contains few vitamins,iodine, iron, zinc, copper. Insufficient quantity of these elements in the baby causes serious diseases and can provoke a delay in development. In this regard, mother's milk is an indispensable product for her child.
8
To all of the above, we can add that inMother's milk contains substances responsible for the development of the infant's immune system. They have a protective effect against inflammation and the development of infectious diseases. In this respect, the milk of the cow can not replace the female.
9
The production of baby food today came onthe level when the adapted mixtures are as close as possible to the composition of breast milk. And yet, no mixture reproduces exactly the milk of a woman, so the best nutrition for a child is the milk of the mother.
10
Scientists have determined that cow milk can be partially absorbed by the intestines of a child aged 1.5-2 years. In this regard, give milk to children of the first year of life is not recommended.
