ABSTRACT

The relatively high cost of infant formula compared to cow’s milk is one of the main reasons why the latter is widely used. There’s a lack of information among health professionals regarding cow’s milk in the first year of life, for which reason the aim of this work is to review the scientific evidence related to the adverse effects and risks of the consumption of cow’s milk before the first year of age. Cow’s milk is not a significant source of ascorbic acid nor iron. In addition there is the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding and anemia. Cow’s milk has a low content of essential fatty acids in cows’ milk composition; it is well known that these fatty acids, which are necessary for infant’s neurodevelopment and visual function; therefore, skimmed milk is not recommended. The high renal solute load which means a high protein and mineral content in milk can cause in some cases dehydration and serious health problems. Some infants may develop allergy to the protein of cow’s milk. More studies are needed to establish the relationship between the development of chronic diseases and cow’s milk. Recent and increasing data suggest a cause-effect relation for diabetes and obesity among other diseases with the use of cow’s milk.
