Cow's milk is not recommended for infants under less than one year
old because the milk contains too much salt and protein. For
infants who are not breastfed, infant formula is given in its
place. The carbohydrate, fat, protein, vitamin, and mineral content
is formulated to be as close to human breast milk as possible.
