NO!
They can't have cow's milk until they are 12 months old. It can cause lots of problems, including allergies and intenstinal bleeding. It doesn't have the nutrients that the baby needs at this young age either. You baby MUST stay on breastmilk or formula until 12 months of age in order to be healthy and grow properly.
ETA:
It doesn't matter how much or how often....it is a no-no and is bad for his little system. It's made for BABY COWS and not for baby humans. If you want to give him a drink with his solids, offer him a few sips of water. Much healthier for him.

NO NO NO it isn't! milk doesn't have the nurtients that babies need! That is why they have formula! Or better breast milk! you don't give babies whole milk to they are at least a year old or older! If you can't afford the formula get WIC-Woman Infant Child....they give you free food and formula if you qualify for it. Also if you already have WIC go to a church for help...or 2nd hand food stores who can help out. If you are asking about milk also remember never ever give babies under a year honey which can kill them because of spores, or peanut butter which they can become allergic too, or egg yolks! Get a parenting book they help!

Rule of thumb is not to give baby regular milk until he is 1 yr old.

No. Breastmilk or formula until age 1 or beyond. Milk is not nutritious enough.
At about 9 months you can introduce dairy in the form of cheese and yogurt, but it should not replace breastmilk or formula.

No, and the reason is because baby's stomachs are not adjusted to the curddling of milk and most baby have allergens to milk and dairy before the age of one. I wouldn't advise you to do that and either will a pediatrician.

No, it is too much for their delicate little digestive systems. You need to wait until the baby is at least a year. If money for formula is the issue apply for WIC (women infants and children) assistance at your local health department. If you qualify they will usually issue vouchers the same day.

In a word, NO. Infants are not to have milk until their first birthday, no matter if it is for a snack or a meal. You can however, offer formula in a sippy cup if you prefer.

No!! You shouldnt introduce milk until 12 months. There are digestive issues, as well as an increased risk of dairy allergies.
