When are you introducing cows milk?

Question

In the U.K. we are advised to cook with cows milk from 6 months. E.g. Adding to babies cereal, mashed potato etc but not giving it to drink in bottles until 12 months. Has anyone introduced cows milk yet? How did it go? I am a bit worried about this.

Answer

Honest I start normal drinking milk about 11 month. It's like their first birthday is the magic milk day. Where suddenly they will tolerate it from that day on. I introduce it early as I don't stop baby having anything. She eats what we eat. Milk is added to lots of products. She has yogurts now, cheese etc I just purée it all. I'm uk too. Research shows more allergies are introduced by not  starting certain foods early. Peanuts is a good example

Answer

Haven't yet but my 2 year at 4 months started himself on cows milk (stole another kids cup)  he has lived it ever since

Answer

I'm going to wait until at least one, but honestly I'm tempted not to give it to him at all. I love milk, but if you really think about it, it's pretty disgusting. One of my old bosses went to culinary school too and she straight stopped drinking milk when she saw what was in it. I stopped drinking it for a long time and just used almond milk and I think I might do it again. I think when he gets older and once I'm sure he isn't allergic, I'll just give my son either almond or soy milk.
