Babies over six months of age can have whole cow’s milk, according to a new recommendation from the American Academy of Pediatrics.
The new guidance comes amid the infant formula shortage in the United States.
The AAP says whole cow’s milk is an option for older babies if formula is not available, as long as the child doesn’t need a specialty formula for allergies or other health needs.
