This paper provides a comprehensive overview of various milk types suitable for infant consumption, drawing upon current scientific literature and major health organization guidelines. This paper deals with the pattern across several countries ranging across the globe. It takes into account different mammals such as buffalo, goat, sheep, horse, reindeer, etc apart from cow and discusses the nutritional composition, developmental benefits, and potential risks associated with each of the different species of mammalian milk along with breast milk, infant formulas, and alternative milks at different stages of infant development. The emphasis is on highlighting the gold standard of infant nutrition, breast milk, while also addressing the appropriate use and considerations for other milk sources when breastfeeding is not possible or insufficient.
