Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Please do not do that again. This is a highly condensed form of cow milk that is highly concentrated in sugar. Cow milk is not suitable for infants under the age of 12 months because it imposes load on their still immature kidneys, in addition to inducing anemia (low red blood cells) because it's poor in iron and it also produces inflammation of the intestines which leads to some bleeding and thus loss of red blood cells. Furthermore, the very high concentration in sugar of this product may be harmful to the baby at this age as he may not be able to process such load of sugar.
