Can I *start* giving my 11 month old regular milk instead pf formula?

Question

She does really well with solids, and shows interest in cows milk (she is constantly taking my other toddlers sippy cups lol) AND I still breastfeed her. (Currently combo fed, breast & formula + solids)
Would it be too soon just to start giving her the occasional milk bottle now? I was thinking this way her system might acclimate better (my first son became constipated when we introduced whole milk for awhile) 
Thoughts?

Answer

I Was offering an ounce or two a day at that age. They don’t need a full bottle of cows milk, be mindful that they only need like 16-20oz per day of milk once they hit a year old.

Answer

Transition it.

Answer

Yes, some doctors recommend to at like 8/9 months. Though I did breastfed for 2 years. Don't have to be cows milk, I use coconut milk. I hate cows milk personally. My boyfriend prefers almond milk. 🤷‍♀️ We both don't see a point to drinking/using cow's milk if there other plant based ones.

Answer

Dr told us it was fine to start changing at 11-11.5 months. Ask your babes dr when you get the chance.

Answer

Definitely start transitioning. Unless your baby enjoys milk. My daughter was completely off milk a week before she turned one. Just make sure your baby is eating right and drinking enough whole milk😊

Answer

My daughter's pediatrician had me start transitioning my daughter to whole milk at 9mo and was off formula by 12mo

Answer

I wouldn't just give straight cow's milk. I'd transition by doing some formula/breast milk to cow's milk. Slowly giving more and more cow's milk until it's completely cow's milk. That may help with constipation.
