The health visitors often tell you in the UK not to start them on cows milk until they are a yr. I started Elinor about 10 months tho. She refused formula milk and guzzeled the cows milk

UK = 12M

I think someone in the US said it's 9M there.. Caitlyn has the odd glass! (I say glass, I mean cup..)

i don't get it!!!!! heinz baby desserts contain cows milk and they're from 4 months?!

 

[leedsforever]

they can have cows milk mixed with food from any weaning stage....

... but as a replacement bottle feed is shoule be 12 months due to the difference in nutrient contents etc!! Formula has everything a baby needs

I wish Sam would do that! I've been trying to give him cow's milk for a couple of weeks now and he hates it! He'll happily drink formula though! x

Over here it is 12 months as their bodies cannot digest the proteins. I will be trying to hold Savannah off for over 12 months as we have a dairy sensitivity in our family. Which means no yoghurt, milk, cheese etc till after 12 months.

have you tried mixing it with formula? 2oz milk, 6oz formula.. etc etc until you get to full cows milk?
Thats what I had to do with Colton He loves it and has been on cows milk for 2 weeks

Over here it is 12 months, but you generally start with bits of it at 11mo, or start weaning them off formula at 11 months. BY the time they are 12months old they should be on cows milk. But, it's different for every baby; earlier is fine if they wont drink formula as long as they are having a very balanced and nutricious diet
