So, should you feed your child cow milk then?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The difference between cow milk protein-based formulas and cow\u2019s milk<\/strong><\/h2>\nMany mamas may have seen warnings not to feed their children<\/span> cow milk, especially if they\u2019re younger than one year old.<\/p>\nWhile this is partly true, there is actually a difference between cow milk protein-based formulas\u00a0<\/strong>and cow\u2019s milk.<\/p>\nCow milk<\/a> formula is a type of formula that has been treated and fortified to be suitable for babies. Most infant formulas in the market are made from cow\u2019s milk, which contains two types of proteins: whey and casein.<\/p>\nWhole cow\u2019s milk, on the other hand, has much higher protein levels than infant formula and is not recommended for infants. It also does not contain the extra nutrients and minerals typically added in formulas.<\/p>\n
![\"Why](\"https:\/\/welovesupermom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/3-scaled.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Why should you feed your child cow milk formula?<\/strong><\/h2>\nOnce junior turns one, many experts recommend parents switch to fresh milk since he will be getting his nutrients from solids.<\/p>\n
However, growing children need a lot of calcium to build and support healthy bones and teeth. The amount of calcium required<\/span> is as follows:<\/p>\n\n- Babies younger than 6 months old need 200 mg of calcium a day.<\/li>\n
- Babies 6 to 11 months old need 260 mg of calcium a day.<\/li>\n
- Kids 1 to 3 years old need 700 mg of calcium a day.<\/li>\n
- Kids 4 to 8 years old need 1,000 mg of calcium a day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
It may be difficult to achieve the recommended calcium intake solely from solid food alone, especially for picky eaters. That\u2019s why it\u2019s best to supplement their diet with milk to ensure their calcium needs are met. The\u00a0Health Promotion Board (HPB) guidelines<\/a><\/span> also recommend that\u00a0children between six months and two years of age consume about 750ml of milk daily.<\/p>\n![\"Fortified](\"https:\/\/welovesupermom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/4-1-scaled.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
1. Fortified with nutrients essential for healthy growth and development\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\nFormula milk is a form of fortified milk, which means it has added vitamins, minerals, and fish oil.<\/p>\n
For example, Karihome\u2019s Cow Milk <\/a>Growing-Up<\/a> Formula<\/a> (1 Year Onwards)<\/a><\/span> is formulated to meet the nutritional needs of children as part of a diversified diet. It contains the following nutrients:<\/p>\n\n- Highest* levels of 2\u2019-FL (Fucosyllactose):<\/strong>Special prebiotic which feeds good bacteria in the gut. Having high levels of 2\u2019-FL is important as it stimulates the growth of good bacteria in your little one\u2019s gut, where 70% of the immune system is located. This helps to strengthen your child\u2019s immunity during his early years<\/a><\/span>, reducing the risks of gastrointestinal infections, food allergies, and upper respiratory infections.<\/li>\n
- Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA):<\/strong>A type of omega-3 fatty acid that is an essential building block for the development of the brain and eyes of your child.<\/li>\n
- Zinc and iron:<\/strong>Minerals that support the body\u2019s natural defences.<\/li>\n
- Nucleotides:<\/strong>Essential to normal cell function and replication.<\/li>\n
- More than 28 other nutrients:<\/strong>To support all-round development.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

2. Affordable and wallet-friendly option<\/strong><\/h3>\nFormula milk in Singapore is not cheap, with a\u00a0120 per cent increase in formula milk prices<\/a><\/span>\u00a0over the past decade.<\/p>\nThere are many\u00a0special types of baby milk<\/a><\/span>\u00a0in the market, such as soy, comfort, hypoallergenic, and anti-reflux formulas. However, most infants would not need these formulas unless they have specific allergies, which only\u00a0affect 2 – 3 per cent of babies<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\nNormal cow milk formula works fine and even comes at a much lower price tag. For example, Karihome Cow Milk Growing-Up Formula 900G (1 Years Onwards)<\/span> retails for $40* in supermarkets. This is much more affordable than other special formulas that can cost at least double the price.<\/p>\n![\"Growing](\"https:\/\/welovesupermom.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/05\/6-scaled.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
Growing Up Happily and Healthily<\/strong><\/h2>\nUltimately, there is no one perfect diet to follow as every child has his own unique preference. As parents, the best you can do for your little one is to ensure he\u2019s hitting his daily nutritional intake so that he can grow up happily and healthily.<\/p>\n
