                                According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, plain cow's milk is nutritionally inappropriate for infants under 12 months due to its high protein and mineral content. This is precisely why formula, or what is known as modified cow's milk, is created—it is scientifically adapted to meet a baby's specific developmental needs.
