My son is two years old this year. My mother-in-law said she would order fresh milk for her. Can a 2-year-old baby drink it?

    Compared with breast milk, fresh milk has a high casein content, and it is easy to form a large hard clot in the stomach of infants and young children, which is not easy to digest and absorb. More importantly, the content of "ash" (a salt) in milk is much higher than that of human milk. The former reaches 0.7% while the latter is only 0.2% The excessively high salt content causes a heavy burden on the kidneys, which is detrimental to infant growth and development. Therefore, for infants and children under 3 years of age, various formulas are closer to breast milk, which is in line with their physiological characteristics, which not only reduces the burden on the kidneys, but also facilitates brain development and is easy to digest and absorb.
