I have breastfeed my son for 4 months and from 5th month I started giving cow milk plus breastfeeding two times in a day. Now he is 7 months and till now he is not having problem with cow milk. But I read on google that cow milk causes diabetes is it true?

Hello, Thanks for the query. Cow's milk for infants is not good, mainly because the milk that is available is of Danish cows. Indian cow milk is considered as really good. If you can ensure that the baby gets that milk, then there is no problem. Otherwise, better to avoid. Thanks.

No it is not true. WHO has recommemded exclusive breast feeding for 6 months then solids should be added alongwith breast feed for atleast 2 years.
