13. So, Can I Give My Baby Cow’s Milk to Drink? A Chat About the Recent Changes in WHO Guidelines
Description
In this episode, Gina from Toddler Mealtimes joins me as we dive into the recent changes in the World Health Organization's guidelines around cow’s milk in infancy. When the new recommendations were released, we did a little digging and what we found has left us with more questions than answers. Join us as we explore the confusion, our concerns, and share our advice and recommendations around these guidelines.
Listen in and discover:
