At what age do you stop giving a baby follow on milk?

Answer 1

It really depends on you. It's perfectly fine to keep them on follow on milk until they are 3 (it states so on their labels), It contains the vitamins, nutrients etc that are vital to a toddlers development. That's not to say that you HAVE to keep them on it til that age. General consensus is that 12 months is the right age to ween your toddler onto full fat cows milk, anytime before then and you could harm their development/immune system.

Go with your instincts, essentially, you are the parent and only you can make that decision.

Hope this helped. Good luck xx

Answer 2

I stopped giving my daughter follow on milk at about 12 months but still have a few cartons knocking about for days out as it keeps better than normal milk. She usually just has full fat milk but try your baby with milk on cereals and puddings as it is a very different taste and not all babies like it.

Answer 3

The recomendation for switching to normal cows pasterised milk is 1 year. Children of that age still require milk as part of their diet.

Answer 4

Usually around 12 months cows milk can be introduced, some babies dont take to it at first so you can mix it with formula to begin with till baby gets used to the taste.

Answer 5

the perfect liquids for little ones over one 365 days previous are water or milk. Cows' milk isn't perfect as a drink till your toddler is 365 days previous. Use complete-fat milk (complete milk) from the age of 365 days to 2 years. Semi-skimmed milk could properly be presented from the age of two, see you later as your toddler is a reliable eater and growing to be properly for his or her age. Skimmed milk would not contain sufficient fat, so isn't counseled for little ones lower than 5.

Answer 6

my son had follow on milk until he was 2. now he's 2 and a half he's on the growing up milk 4 bedtime and cow's milk and juice during the day. these milks contain more vitamins and minerals especially iron and i think these benefit the child more.

Answer 7

Children should be given whole cow's milk at one year of age. Most children past age two can be given skim or fat-free milk - since the typical American diet derives fat calories elsewhere.

Answer 8

A baby can starting taking whole milk at 1 yr. You may have to warm it a bit if he's used to warm formula or breastmilk.

Answer 9

the other thing with cow's milk is to introduce it slowly (normally around 12 months) as it can make your child constipated
