Milk for infants
Why baby under age one should not be given buffalo or cow milk. I am using formula for my baby but my co sister is using buffalo milk mixed with water to her new born and her baby is fine and healthy.

Cow and buffalo milk are not ideal for baby.. And they should not mixed with water.. Give formula feed preferably as it is more similar to breast milk.. If necessary give cow milk without water..
