Hi,
Cow's milk is more like mother's milk. It can be given in case mother's milk is not available. Pasteurization of milk is a must for feeding to babies. You can start diluted milk with adding pinch of sugar to it to simulate it with mother's milk. The dilution can be reduced slowly as the baby starts digesting it.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
