Cows milk

Has your baby moved to cows milk at 18months? Do you do skimmed or semi skimmed milk? Million dollar question: how do you safely warm a milk bottle in the microwave? Thank you

I swapped my girl over to cows milk at just over 11months old. It should be the blue full fat milk for little ones. I warm my bottles of milk in the microwave I just put the baby bottle of milk without the lid on in the microwave and give it about 20 seconds and then take it out and she then drinks it straight away xx

I started my boy on whole milk just as he hit 12 months. I do 30 seconds in the microwave to take the chill off it and give it a good shake to make sure there’s no hotspots x

NHS advice has changed recently - whole milk and semi skimmed are both fine. Skimmed should be avoided. We warm the milk in the microwave and just give it a good stir afterwards to avoid any hotspots 😊

Full fat cows milk since 12 months. We’ve always given direct from the fridge. She only wants 100ml ish at bedtime, and maybe a babyccino if we’re out somewhere in the day as a treat. I’ve got a milk frother at home so I’m thinking of maybe doing her one in there one day and seeing how that goes! But don’t want her to associate warm milk with bedtime as it’s so much easier cold 😂 Have also read the guidelines have changed and semi skimmed is okay.

Whole milk since 12 months - I just put it in microwave for 30 seconds and give it a shake but my daughter rathers it cold now and she’s 18 months.

Cows milk since 12 months and always warm in microwave 😊

We use both semi skinned and blue milk, if we run out of blue, we use the green. Not seen any difference. We warm it slightly for 30 seconds in microwave and give a good shake

Yeah my LO is on full fat cows milk, I used Arla big milk as it has added vitamins and iron. I weaned off formula just after he turned 1. I warm it in the microwave and give it a good stir to mix any hot spots and then give it to him in his tum tum. 😊

Controversial.....but my LG drinks it straight from the fridge since we moved on to cows milk at 12months. The colder the better in her opinion! Tried warming it and she wasn't interested and screamed for milk from the fridge so we have just rolled with it
