No no no sweetie, the baby should be at least 12 months of age. The baby's stomach is still developing, and cow's milk might irritate your baby's tummy, and it would make it hard to digest. What I did with my little sugar dumpling, is at around his 11Th month, I slowly started to ease him onto milk; by either mixing a little bit with his formula, or giving him a small, watered-down portion to drink, in between main meals. That made it easier for him to get used to. My little Dmitrius Loves milk now. Ease your baby on at first, so that way its easier on the little ones stomach and digestive system.

Yep, WAY too early! You should never start an infant on milk until they hit a year old. And even then, only cows milk for the first year. It's very important! Starting a baby on milk before a year can cause a lot of problems and many allergies. Don't do it! Formula or breast milk is absolutely fine for now, and gives the baby everything that he needs!

you really should ask you pediatrician, but I was told not to start milk until at least 1 year old and then use whole milk at least until 2, but keep the baby on formula for the first year because the babies body needs the nutritian especially when changing from baby food to formula but once on the milk don't change the baby back so you do not confuse the body. Any how, please ask you baby's doctor to make sure.

Yes. You should wait until he's at the very least 12 months old. Breastfeed as long as possible. Human milk is the absolute BEST food for baby, hands down.

It is recommended to wait till baby is 12 months old, ther eis not enough nutrients in regular milk for them, and some babies have trouble adjusting to milk since ther estomach may not be able to tolerate breaking down the milk protiens.

Yes, it's too early. No cow's milk until 12 months of age. His tummy isn't ready for it yet and it doesn't provide the nutrients he needs. Only formula or breastmilk at this point.

I recommend on trying to give your child a little bit of regular milk to see how he handles it if he handles it try to give him alittle bit every day but don't try to mix regular milk with formula milk it is harsh on the baby. but thats what I recommend I did this with all my kids and they were find with it. but the doctors just don't perfer it until the child is a year. but try a little bit and see if ur child can handle it.
