Can fresh milk without boiling be given to a child?

Question

I have a question about my 4 years old daughter. Can we give her fresh milk, which is bottled and not boiled?

Answer 1

yes, if it's pasturized, but ask your peditrician first before taking any of our words' for it. That's the kind of questions he/she should be used to answering, and they would know better than any of us.
Although, my son's peditrician is a strict, by-the-book, old school kind of doctor, and she told me NEVER to give him boiled or warm already pasturized milk (goes bad faster once heated because of the seperation of molecules).

But like I said, see what you dr says.

Answer 2

It is better to give boiled milk even though the milk is pasteurised at diary.

Answer 3

yes. the fresh milk from a healthy cow can b given to child directly. but it is preffered that u milk it from a desi breed than jercy, holestran etc;

Answer 4

As long as it is pasteurised it's ok. Make sure it's full cream milk and not semi or skimmed if you are giving it to under 5's

Answer 5

...do you know and trust the source of the milk....? like the farm that is producing it... the history of the cows that the farm is using.... a simple answer is yes, but knowledge is power... Homogenized milk is always recommended but farm fresh, cream and Oooo....so good !!!

Answer 6

No. it should not be given. it is unhealthy to give a fresh milk. milk should me pasteurized.

Answer 7

The fermentation process enables longer shelf life. As long as it is fresh, it is alright.

Answer 8

yes if it is a cow's milk & the cow is not given any medicine or injection to produce milk.

Answer 9

i've never heard of anyone boiling milk... we buy ours cold and from from the store and drink it!!
where do you live???

Answer 10

u can give but its not safe at all to do such a thing especially for a child. u can get this confirmed from her doctor too.
