Breast Milk vs Cow Milk
Lactose and Calcium content differences
Both are about 88% water:
Human milk:
- 7% CARBOHYDRATE, 1.3% protein, and 4.1% FAT.
Cow milk:
- 4.5% carbohydrate, 3.3% PROTEIN, and 3.9% fat.
Human milk has a very high concentration of lactose compared to cows’ milk
Human milk contains less calcium than cow’s milk, but the calcium in human milk has over twice the bioavailability of the calcium in cow’s milk. (cow milk 4x amount of human milk)
Increasing mom’s calcium intake does NOT increase the amount of calcium in her milk – mom’s milk has the right amount of calcium even if mom does not get enough in her diet.
Cow’s milk contains very little iron, Vit C, Vit D, Vit A
How is an allergic reaction to cow milk discovered?
Common among infants, and cow’s milk-induced intestinal bleeding as an allergic response is a well recognised cause of rectal bleeding in infancy.
This blood loss can affect the iron nutritional status of the infant and in many cases may lead to anemia.
