A. Osteogenesis imperfecta
Osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as “brittle bone disease,” is characterized by fragile bones, blue sclerae, and can be associated with frequent fractures. Excessive cow’s milk consumption can contribute to calcium imbalance and exacerbate bone issues in children with this condition.
