Susu bukan saja dikenali sebagai makanan berkhasiat yang lengkap dan penting tetapi turut membekalkan kalsium untuk membinadan mengekalkan kesihatan tulang serta membantu mencegah osteoporisis.

Justeru, ia perlu diambil bukan pada peringkat kanak-kanak saja sebaliknya, sepanjang hayat kerana setiap peringkat usia, pelbagaizat tambahan diperlukan seperti zaman kanak-kanak, ketika mengandung, selepas mengandung dan ketika melewati usia 30-anserta pada usia tua.

Golongan generasi muda di negara ini, tidak ramai yang meminum susu. Berdasarkan kaji selidik budaya minum susu masyarakatAsia menunjukkan, golongan utama meminum susu ialah di kalangan dewasa yang mencapai usia 40-an ke atas di samping,golongan kanak-kanak.

Setiap bayi dan kanak-kanak memerlukan bekalan khasiat yang mencukupi untuk tumbesaran. Oleh itu, kita perlu pastikan bahawapemberian makanan bayi dan kanak-kanak mempunyai nilai khasiat penting terutama zat protein, vitamin, mineral, serat, karbohidratdan sebagainya.

Jika tidak diberi tenaga protein mencukupi pada awal tumbesaran bayi, ia akan menjejaskan perkembangan mental pada jangka masapanjang.

Pemakanan yang betul serta berkhasiat bagi kanak-kanak adalah faktor yang penting bagi memastikan pembesaran otak dan badanberlaku dengan sempurna.

Pada umur enam bulan pertama, bayi hanya memerlukan nutrisi daripada susu badan atau susu formula yang diberikan kepada mereka.Susu badan atau susu formula mengandungi zat makanan bagi pembesaran.

Bagaimanapun, selepas berumur enam bulan, makanan pejal dan jus buah-buahan perlu diperkenalkan kepada bayi di samping susu.

Dengan menambah makanan pejal ini kepada bayi perlahan lahan, ia dapat menggantikan sebahagian daripada zat makanan, tenagadan kalori yang dibekalkan susu.

Ada juga kanak-kanak yang tidak gemar minum susu mungkin kerana warna atau rasanya. Justeru, ibu bapa mempunyai banyak pilihankerana susu berperisa coklat dan strawberi boleh diberikan kepada kanak-kanak.
