My little man was 11 mths when i changed from formula to cows milk, i did half cows milk half water and he had no problems with it. i did it that way with my other 2 as well. He took to it very well, now his one today and his on full cows milk.

I was told to do half and half around 11 months. That's what I started doing, and now he is on whole milk. It's probably the best way to get their body used to the whole milk.

Half and half is the best way to go ! Start trying now , so that when she is one, she may be off formula completely . If she get bad Bm from it I would switch her to soy milk, it has everything in it reg. milk does but it is lactose free and milk free. I had to do that with my sons, and the doc said that was fine. My son has been eating yogurt, cheese, cottage cheese, and varies other dairy products and has had no problem with those but straight milk can be very harsh on their little tummies. He also has been eating table food regularly seen 7 1/2 months olds. He eats many foods cut up or steamed. He is my third so I have been though this many times. Good luck ! If u have any Questions feel free to contact me.

My daughter just turned 1 awhile ago. When I went to the 1 yr checkup, the doctor said I could start feeding her regular milk, which I did. I tried giving her just milk, but she didn't like it. To slowly get use to milk, I began lessening formula by maybe 2 oz, and in place added milk. For example, I usually feed her 8oz formula each meal. I instead mixed 6oz formula + 2 oz milk. and each wk just increased milk and lessened formula. Now shes pretty much use to the milk. =) hope that helps.
