you can start introducing it now but your not supposed to completely switch until they are one

they say not till they are one, they say to wait because they need the nutrition of breastmilk/formula until they are one...

Hey, i got told by my health visitor to use cows milk in some of your baby`s solid food, so that your child is getting used to it - at about 9 months. then at 1 year to use cows milk.

They get whole milk when they turn 1 year old.

My doctor told me to start at a year and no earlier, their stomachs don`t know how to handle it if you give it to them that any earlier. He said to introduce yogurt to my baby when she`s 10 months which I did and make sure it has whole milk in it although she didn`t like it much ... we stick with the yogurt melts by gerber that come in a resealable pouch. Hope the info helped!

now is a great time to slowly introduce it :)

I`d start with a sippy cup.. at 11 months there is really no reason to bother with a bottle.

the reason im asking this is because im only going to be able to breast feed my baby in the morning and before bed because after her first b-day im going back to work full time (maybe 2 jobs, the economy is tough) so should i start introducing the milk to her after shes a year??

Keep on bf. They don`t need cows milk ever really. They need the calcium, but there are def other ways to get that in them. Including breast milk! However, when you stop bf. The say whole milk at 1 and 2% around 2. They needed the higher fat content when they are small :-)

Your suppose to start giving them whole milk at age 1, then 2% at 2.

You can start from 12 months but if you are bfeeding then there is no need to start until you stop bfeeding...

i think 9-12 months is fine to start introducing it. my daughter was off the bottle and off formula by a year old. good luck!
