Is it okay to transition my 11 month old to regular cows milk?

My baby turns 12 months next month which is what the recommended age to do so but has anyone started when their baby was 11 months old? Will it effect him if I do so?

Personally I wouldn't necessarily switch to cows milk, but wean off of milk if hes getting enough calories and calcium etc through other dairy products.
Like yogurt, butter, cheese etc.
My daughter is 14 momths now and gets 1 formula bottle at night and during the day she gets water or juice watered down with lots of water.

I weaned both mine onto cows milk starting from when they turned 11 months. I would add 1 oz of cows milk every 4 days until they were completely on cows milk

Recently I talked to my baby’s pediatrician and sales him about that. My baby is 11m 2w and he told me that yes I Can start with cow milk. Introducing 1oz first and adding half oz each day to see how he tolerates it

I would 100% say double check with your pediatrician first. With my son I originally wanted to start him at 11 months or 10 1/2 months but because his stomach cannot take regular milk or not even formula. He is only breastmilk. I'm gonna wait maybe till 18+ months . I'll try in a few more weeks if not, I'll wait a few more months.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
