Cows milk

How old does a baby have to be to have cows milk?! Not necessarily to drink, but with cereals/cooked in meals etc?! My little boy is 8 months old! I currently still use formula for his cereals etc

6 months if cooked in with food. 12 months + for a drink

Cooked in 6 months, though i was told by doctor using formula in meals is better. For cereal id wait 12 months like you do fir drinking

Wonderful! Thankyou ladies! I’ll probably continue with formula for most things but it’s handy to know that I can use it in his hot meals if being cooked x

Mine has been having Greek yogurt for breakfast from 8 months. Online said ok. But I’m still unsure so might only do few days a week although he adores it!

Greek yoghurt is fine for them to have, my health visitor actually encouraged me to feed it to my son to boost his calories as hes small for 8 months 😊

My health visitor told me she can have cow's milk in things like cereal or potato or whatever but not as a drink :)

We’ve been using cows milk in cereal like ready brek x

6 months; it’s fine as an ingredient, you don’t want them drinking it and filling up as they would if they had a bottle and therefore not taking their bottles, but fine to have on cereal etc
