No. It is recommended you wait until they are at least a year old. Introducing milk too early can cause allergies and lactose intolorance.

At 10 1/2 months your baby doesn't have the digestive system complex enough to digest cows milk. Your baby may end up with bad gas, diarrhea, constipation or vomiting. I would hold off for a month just to be sure that you don't cause your baby any undue stress on his digestive tract. Plus if you were to introduce it now he may not accept it. I had to wean my girl onto milk by mixing it with formula and gradually adding more milk to the formula. Also I had to heat the regular milk cuz my daughter didn't want anything to do with cold milk.
Talk to your pediatrician about it. They will be able to give you more complete answers.
Good luck

No, you should wait until the baby is at least a year old, but longer would be okay. Some women choose to breastfeed until 2 years old and never give regular milk until then. I would be careful, a baby's digestive system can be very sensitive.

My second daughter was only 11 months old when started on cows milk. She used to get ahold of her sister's milk and when I brought it up to the doc she said a month wouldn't make any difference anyway.
If your baby has a problem with the switch mix it half and half with formula until there is no more formula.
And of course check with your doc before making the switch

i disagree pretty much with everyone's answer so far. i am a nanny to a little boy who is 15 months old. i started being his nanny when he was 10 months old and he was already on vitamin d milk or whole milk. his mommy still breast fed him in the morning and at night. for his regular milk she would put a scoop or two of toddler formula in with his regular milk. the child's doctor said that was okay and was good for him. i would consult your child's doctor first. but in my opinion, i think it would be okay, but a little at a time.

Not right now. Wait another month and then start GRADUALLY weaning her to whole milk. You want her to be closer to 1 year old.
