    Does anyone know...can you feed a baby raw cow's milk???

    Just a reminder but most baby formulas are made from cow's milk. So yes while it is nutritionally different than human milk which is of course best for human babies, cow's milk is usually the #2 choice .

    Does anyone know...can you feed a baby raw cow's milk???

    That's interesting, I've never heard of a baby who was allergic or couldn't digest their mother's breastmilk. I was always taught that every mother's milk is especially formulated for that particular baby.

    Does anyone know...can you feed a baby raw cow's milk???

    I was wondering if a baby can be fed raw cow's milk instead of that processed powder like formula? Does anyone know. I'm assuming that's what they did in the old days if a woman couldn't nurse...kinda makes sense to me. What do you think???? Would love to hear from anyone about this! :hu
