Do I need to wait for babys well child appointment to introduce milk

I’m interested in giving my 1 year old cows milk, he’s had his birthday already but doesn’t have his well child appointment for another 10 days. Is it okay to switch to milk, we are currently on formula.

Yeah as soon as they turn one you can start transitioning to cows milk you don’t need anyone to tell you to do it xx

Yup, just start adding a little bit to his regular bottles/cups and watch for sensitivity. Most kiddos are fine if you go slowly. Fortified oat milk or hemp are great nondairy options.

@Angela do you mean mix formula and milk and switch to milk slowly?

Yes you can do that, I am going to mix an ounce a time so if I’m making 6oz bottle I’ll do 5oz formula and 1oz milk for a couple of days and then go up to 2oz milk and so on xx

Yep, just so. Switching overnight can cause some tummy upset in some babies.
