Anyone else starting cows milk a little early??

Question

I was wondering if any mommys have started their October babies on cow milk yet.  I started my DD on yogurt & cottage cheese this week to get her belly ready for it.  Today I gave her a few ounces in her sippy cup after breakfast & she loved it & so far has no issues.  Just wondering what everyone else is doing?

Answer

I think I'm going to keep nursing... Once he hits 18 mo to 2 years, I'll take my boob away but continue to pump. He just breastfeeds and eats solids. (11 months tomorrow)

Answer

I don't think we will introduce cow's milk. I'm thinking of maybe goat's. but I'm going to nurse till he either weans or I'm done, which ever comes first.

Answer

Our little boy is 1 in a few weeks and recently has stopped finishing off his milk. He tends to be more excited for the food he knows is coming next and leaves a few ounces. He's got loads of teeth and eats 3 proper meals a day, then a bottle of milk before bed. He's currently having a bad week with his teeth and has a sore bum too. So when that's settled down and he's his usual self we'll try giving him whole milk and see how he gets on.

Answer

Well started introducing around an ounce at a time with formula once/twice a day about a week an a half ago, (she's 10 1/2 months), so far twice a day has giving her diahrehha a bit, so think I will just stick to once a day, thinking twice a day might be overkill.  I did try to introduce the sippy cup more over the bottle every time before I tried the milk, maybe a week or so before I tried introducing milk because I hear it's harder to replace the bottle after a year, she took to it perfect the first week and then started wanting just the bottle after that so I just figured maybe it was still too early so she's still just using a sippy cup for water mainly.

Answer

I've been feeding dairy products for months... small amounts of plain greek yogurt or cheese. Plan to start small amounts of milk a few weeks before her birthday.

Answer

I started yesterday introducing organic cow's milk. He gets 3 8 oz bottles a day so I've been just doing 1 oz of milk and 7 oz of formula. I'll gradually increase it until he turns 1 on the 5th.

Answer

My pediatrician gave me the go ahead at 9 months, but I just recently introduced it. My son will be 11 months on Monday. It's going well and he absolutely loves it. His doctor says usually wait a year, but as long as they tolerate, it's ok to start from 9 months.

Answer

I've been giving my son milk in a cup at dinner to get him used to it for about a week now.   Today I went cold turkey and pulled bottles and formula. No issues at all!

Answer

We started with 2 oz in each bottle at 10 months. Now we do 4 oz in each bottle. At her one year mark, we will go all the way. 
She's doing fine and loves it.

Answer

Usually no dairy before one because it's tough on their digestive system
