Cow’s milk contains low quantity of some vitamins such as vitamin C, D and A than human breast milk. Also, Cow's milk contains high amount of protein, and low amount of carbohydrates. One of the proteins present in cow's milk is difficult for infants to digest and may cause an allergic response making cow’s milk unsuitable for infants.
