    Dear friends,
    Hope i can clear my doubt here
    iam having 1.6 year old kid. iam giving him cow milk immediately after he get up from sleep in morning. usually he get up around 7.30 am to 8.00am. in our area the milkman arrives late sometimes. those times my DS starts crying due to hungry if i miss him to feed(i mean cow milk)
    so those times can i feed him yesterday's boiled cowmilk which stores in fridge.
    but still now iam not tried it.

    is it good for health especially kids?

    can we adullts taken it?(sometimes iam taking it if its leftover on yesterday)
    anyone using it?

    @Nithu As long as the milk is good and well boiled, I guess it should be fine. So yesterday's milk should be fine I guess. But as always take paed's advice.

    For adults, it should be fine. Some my relatives use the previous day's afternoon milk for next day morning.

    it should be fine..usually the milk packet has a shelf life of two days atleast..so you can use..if you have further doubt you can reheat the milk in the night..else when u get milk in the morning,keep one packet for your kid in the fridge and boil this milk the next day

    Hi

    I guess you are giving cow milk that is freshly milked by your milk man from the cow and not the packed milk from your post. If that's the case, please avoid giving the previous day's milk as its not pasteurized for reheating or storing.

    If it is packed pasteurized milk, you may boil it at night and cool it and then keep inside the fridge, again in the morning you have to boil it {re-heating is not enough} and make it slightly cool as per required temperature and give to baby.

    Else for night / early morning or any time urgent requirement, you may keep a tin milk like Lactogen / Nan 2 or many such milk foods available [take advice from your Paed.] in the market. One cannot depend on milk man's arrival as the baby does not understand.

    Best Regards
    Shanti

    No problem at all, do not worry you can give if it is in good condition.

    dear i asked the same question to my paed , she says better dont use that milk. kids can easily affected by infection so try to avoid it... nithu in that case you can try junior horlicks or pediasure or formula milk as morning drink.
