Formula/cow's milk after one year?

Maybe it is the saturated fats in cow's milk? We need studies, but it
is a likely scenario.

Could it be though that those studies were not dealing with babies
breastfed for the first year, but entirely formula fed? It could very
well be that even according to those studies if you bf for the first
year and give cows milk and other foods, then it would be okay.

Second, the balance of carbs and protein is cow's milk is very much
different from human milk. You think maybe that balance is makes human
milk more suited to human toddlers? I do.

Though how do you know that after the first year it is such a problem if
the toddler is getting nourishment from other sources as well?

Only enquiring.
