Are you introducing cows milk?

Question

So after the random “cows milk makes you fat” post I am just curious lol. 
I personally think milk is gross. My husband doesn’t drink it often either. I don’t really plan on giving it to him just because we rarely have it ourselves.

Answer

Speak to your pediatrician about the alternatives if you’re against cows milk. But the fat is what babies need to help with brain development

Answer

I am not against cows milk for my child, but only if he likes it! I personally can’t stand cows milk—it makes me gag and smells sour to me. I don’t know that I’ll go cold turkey 🦃 on introducing cows milk but might do a toddler formula for a while! I’ve seen many people who drink cows milk and are not obese. 😅

Answer

My “obese” husband drinks milk everynight. Oh and btw he’s not obese 😂 not even a little fat 😂. We only drink milk. We don’t drink any of the fake milks. 
If he wants to drink it then yea cook. If he only wants water that’s fine. But I’m not buying almond milk or any milk alternatives

Answer

Okay so personally for us it's going to be a way to wean him off formula. I am not opposed to the idea of him not drinking milk as we ourselves don't drink it- we have almond milk in the house if we need it. But I think ultimately it depends on how well he eats solids and if he really wants milk. As of right now he is legit cranky when he doesn't get his bottle, so I don't imagine I'd cut formula AND not offer milk, going cold turkey. I do know some babies who went from nursing to no milk and did fine. But I don't think that will be our situation. The fat in whole milk does help their little brains so if people are choosing not to, nothing wrong with that BUT you'd better have a solid healthy diet to back it up!

Answer

I'm cracking up at what a hit that post was 😂😂😂😂😂😂  but I voted no. I don't drink milk and sometimes my husband does with cereal. I don't think it's necessary as my family gets most of those nutrients from cheese and vegetables! But I don't necessarily have a problem with him having milk on occasion with cereal when he's older, I just don't think it's necessary for him to get a bottle or sippy cup of it.

Answer

Our pediatrician said not to start transitioning from formula until after 1 year old but we will be transitioning from formula to whole cows milk once baby turns 1. 
We will also ask about toddler formula since our guy is still not a big eater but takes quite a few bottles a day still. 
Depending on what pediatrician advises we may do some cows milk, some toddler formula and table foods. 
Husband and I both have non-fat cows milk with cereal a few times a week and occasionally a glass here and there. It’s Actually a pregnancy craving for me and now 6w with #2 and it’s started up again for me.

Answer

I’m not sure yet 🥴 we’re not big milk drinkers either but we have given my little  whole milk yogurt & some other dairy stuff

Answer

no. I plan to nurse for a while, until he wants to stop. so no need for milk.. but even if we stopped nursing at 1, i still wouldnt do cows milk. it's just gross. if i had to, we would do raw unpasteurized local milk, but theres really no need. he gets dairy from things like cheese and yogurt

Answer

Cows milk is for baby cows. 
My two boys were (one still is) breastfed. Adults don’t need breast milk from their own or any other species so we drink oat milk, sometimes soy. 
My kids are very healthy and are not undernourished in any way

Answer

My baby LOVES cows milk
