how come LO's can have cheese and yoghurts but not cows milk until they're about 1?
 
they can have cows milk mixed in with foods from 6months, but is not sufficient enough to replace formula til 1yr x
 
The reason they say not to give cow's milk before 1 year is because it doesn't contain all the vitamins and minerals that are in formula or breast milk, so it shouldn't be given instead of these. There's nothing actually wrong with it (unless your baby is at high risk of food allergies), it's just that formula is better, so it's fine to give it mixed in to solid foods or as cheese or yogurt.
