Am I missing something here? Isn't Enfamil cow-milk based?
Talk about double-speak!

Here is the quote from the webmd site:
http://my.webmd.com/mjn_content/article/2976.107
>No Cow's Milk

>The American Academy of Pediatrics advises against feeding your baby
cow's milk in any form -- whole, 2% or skimmed -- until his or her first
birthday. Cow's milk is not recommended for babies for several reasons:

>Cow's milk has too much protein, more than is good for babies. Also, the
types of protein and fat in cow's milk are hard for babies to digest.
Cow's milk has too much sodium for babies and too little vitamin C,
copper and iron. Lack of iron can cause iron deficiency anemia.
Cow's milk can form a hard curd in your baby's stomach, causing digestive
problems.
