Ready brek with cows milk at 6 months

[MNORBURY]

Is it ok to start lyla off with this?

I have no idea where to start! She is breasted and I find I can't express much and was told that cows milk is ok to use in foods at this age.

Any help/advice appreciated

Yeah as long as she's getting 5-600ml breast or formula milk a day which I suppose you can't tell but if she's still feeding well off you it's ok it's just for the iron I think. I made my Los porridge with cows milk just because the formula smelt horrible heated up in the microwave

Cows milk is absolutely fine in foods from 6months, just not offered as a drink

You can make baby porridge with boiled water too if you don't want to use milk, I gotba box from Boots for 99p and mixed some banana chunks in it for his lunch today, he will be 6 months on the 22nd

Cow's milk is fine in cooking or on cereals, just use whole milk if you can as the fats are important for brain development. An occasional portion of non-whole milk won't hurt but for regular use it should be whole.
