When Should A baby start drinking stright milk?

Answer 1

Not a *drop* until she/he is a year old, and even later if there are food allergies in the family or if you have reason to believe that this baby may have a dairiy allergy. This is true no matter *what* animal the milk comes from; goat's milk is just as allergenic as cow's for many babies. This is the recommendation of all health organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics. If your doctor tells you it's okay to give milk before the first birthday, she/he is going against the recommendations of her/his own professional organization.

Answer 2

about 10 months to a year but your best bet is to mix it with formula an wein them off it that way they are not losing so many nutreins that they stll need. for example make a six ounce bottle of fomula and add two ounces milk and after a while just put more milk and less formula and eventually it will be all milk. The baby may get a little constipated but thats normal just give the baby a bottle of half juice abd hald water everyday about nap time and it should regulate out boul movement. Good luck

Answer 3

1 year

Answer 4

If, by stright milk, you mean cows milk, not for a minium of 1 year. 2 years is even better. Cows milk is not all that good for humans. Goats milk is actually better. But you can't beat mothers milk. That is human mothers milk for a human, cows milk for a calf, etc.

Answer 5

Are you talking about cow's milk? Not before 12 months because of possible allergies. If you are talking about breast milk -well, about three days after birth which is when the milk production takes over after the colostrum isn't needed anymore.
Your baby should be getting either breast milk or formula until a year old even if you are feeding him/her solids.
If you are bfing you can hold off on the cow's milk even longer.

Answer 6

Babies can drink cow's milk @ 12 months of age. They don't need as much milk per lb as a younger baby. Only 12-18oz per day (if that) is needed. The rest should be water, table foods/solids, and maybe some juice.

Answer 7

Not until they are 1 year old the doctor will tell you. But I started mine on whole milk when they were around 8 months.
I wouldn't use 25, only A&D because they need the extra vitamins, and fat.

Answer 8

Usually around thier first birthday. My daughter is 10 months and I'm giving her at least a bottle a day of whole milk. Just to make the transaction easier.

Answer 9

If you mean cow's milk...

The pat answer in the books is a year old.

Many children have allergies or sensitivities to milk that are hard to fight off while they are still infants... (Sensitivities and allergies will cause symptoms of stuffy nose and earaches, constipation and/or diarrhea.)

You may want to look at organic milk (no hormone supplements for the mama cow spilling into the product) or Silk (soymilk, comes in chocolate and vanilla), or Lactaid milk (easier to digest if your child is sensitive).

Answer 10

Accorrding to doctor's babies should not drink cow's milk till past age one. Just to be on the safe side wait till 13 months
