11 months old and introducing to regular milk?

Wait, even if it seems like its not a big deal. You’re supposed to go all the way up to 1yr. I did this with my oldest son, i have 4 kids. But you are momma so you know what is best for baby.

Example this is what I did with my daughter and your doctor will tell you this my daughter was drinking 8 ounces when she i transitioned her I put 1/8 whole milk 7/8 formula for the first day then the second day I did 2/8 whole milk 6/8 formula 3rd day 3/8 whole milk 5/8 formula and so on and she transitioned smoothly

you have to wait untill 12 months due to their kidneys not being able to digest it. It can cause internal bleeding. If your baby is a premie talk to your child's doctor. But do not do it before the full 12 months

source? I’ve heard this about water but never about whole milk, that seems off I’m sure his pediatrician would’ve mentioned this when I said I let my baby try cows milk 👀

I have an 11 month old, he turns one this month. I started him on whole milk last week. He loves it. I didnt wean him off formula. We just stopped drinking it. But dince his formula was a meal in some cases, now I give him oatmeal with a bottle of milk and use the milk as a beverage more than his main source of nutrition. His pediatrician recommended this as well, bc she said weaning off may make him not like the texture/taste difference. I will say give milk in moderation, like everything. Dont give too much. Maybe 16 oz of milk a day. Speak to your pediatrician though to see what works best for your baby. Mine had no issues transitioning.

We did a month long transition with our first kid starting at 11 months and we’ll do the same with this baby. Our pediatrician ok’d this:
Week one - 4oz BM/formula and 2 oz whole milk
Week 2 - 3oz and 3 oz
Week 3 - 2oz and 4oz
Week 4 - full cows milk.

@Shannon when I look it up online that's what it says under the cdc if you do it before 12 months. Maybe 11 months is okay or maybe depends on the child like if they are on solids u know. I'm not sure about premises thought because it didn't say that.

oh okay that makes sense, I’m sure this applies mostly to younger babies but our ped did say to wait just because the proteins are harder to digest but wasn’t too concerned. My baby weaned early ~10.5 months and she didn’t suggest I use formula because he eats tons of solids. Good to know though! Thanks for sending that.

I talked to my dr and she said I could start at 11 months because my daughter has eaten food since 4.5 months and loves cheese and other milk products without a problem. I was going to start by replacing 2 oz with milk and 6 oz of formula to make 8 oz bottle. If she doesn't react well we will stop and try again at 12 months

My Dr said to wait till 1,my mom said do it now... my baby started refusing her bottles during the day so I am offering her 1oz of whole organic milk during lunch and I'm adding 1oz of milk to her morning bottle. So far so good.... she turned 11 months on 3rd

Don’t cut off now of course but you can give like a little bit at breakfast to introduce them but you don’t switch it fully. My daughter can’t do regular milk but I gave her some oat milk the other day and my older son started having regular milk around 10 months at breakfast and just a little bit
