Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
Cow's milk is quite safe for the baby.
Till completion of 3 months 3 parts milk and one part water.
From 4th month onwards undiluted cow's milk is advised.
You can give cow's milk along with breast feeds.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
