Other sources of protein can also be obtained through fresh milk. For children who are no longer breastfeeding, this fresh milk can be a practical choice as a source of protein consumed every day. Milk is one of the rich nutritional sources of animal protein that plays an important role during the golden period of child growth because it can help meet their high calorie and energy needs. The provision of milk to children is also recommended by WHO in the "New Guidelines for Complementary Feeding for Children aged 6-23 Months" which has been updated.

Doctor Radhian Amandito, Sp.A., Pediatric Specialist at RS Pondok Indah, explains that high-quality pasteurized fresh milk is superior to other types of milk. This is because only through the pasteurization process, the natural nutritional content of the milk is not reduced or altered, thus still containing many important nutrients that are easily digested for the growth and development of children, such as amino acids and various bioactive nutrients.
