From which age should a baby start drinking full cream milk?

It is not recommended for babies to drink full-cream milk before the age of 1 year old.

Here's why:

* Nutritional needs: Babies under one year old need a special formula or breast milk that is specifically designed to meet their nutritional needs. Full-cream milk lacks the right balance of nutrients, especially iron, and can lead to iron deficiency anemia.

* Digestive issues: Cow's milk can be hard for babies' digestive systems to process. It can cause diarrhea, constipation, and allergies.

* Kidney function: Babies' kidneys are still developing and may not be able to handle the high protein content of cow's milk.

After 1 year old:

* You can gradually introduce full-cream milk as part of a balanced diet.

* It's important to start with small amounts and monitor your child's reaction.

* If you have any concerns, consult with your pediatrician.

Always consult with your pediatrician for specific advice regarding your child's dietary needs.
