Is it safe to give my 11 month old son cows milk

Question

He will be 11 months on the 16th. I am weaning him off breastfeeding right now and i dont want him to get used to formula then have to take that from him in a month BUT i have heard that you cannot give a baby milk until one year. Is it that serious?

Answer 1

I actually gave my son raw goats milk.

Answer 2

It is fine.  Just make sure he is eating well as his main nutrition is now coming from food.

Answer 3

they recommend waiting till 1 but to be honest its only a guide I would put him on cows milk as long as its full fat and pasteurized should be fine but you might want to speak to your health visitor to double check . I weaned my lo of the breast at 10 months and put him on formula but now feel it was a waste of money and then put him on cows milk at one anyway  

Answer 4

I have three kids and I put them on cow's milk between 10 months and 11 months and their fine.  

Answer 5

It's better to wait until the baby turns at least 1 before giving cows milk.  Since your baby is 11 mos, it shouldn't be that big of a deal.  But sometimes their stomaches aren't ready for it.
