You can start at about 11 1/2 to 12 months by slowing replacing formula with whole milk in her bottles. Start at first replacing a 1/2 ounce at a time. 1/2 ounce bottle 1, 1 ounce bottle 2, 1.5 ounces bottle 3 etc.......
That way constipation, or other results will be lessened. If you find at the end she is constipated increase her fruits.

12 Months is the earliest, but if your baby is a breast fed baby 2 years, Milk should also be delayed if your child is low weight, does not eat 3 meals a day in table food, or was premature. When switching to cows milk you also need to give it slowly, mixing it with formula or breast milk. Transition from one to another is tipically 14 days.

at one year they should be drinking milk. At 8 or 9 months, switch back and forth between formula and milk to get the baby used to it. Good lUck

at 1 years they should be switched to whole cows milk (if formula feeding). At 2 years switch them to 2 %.

About one year. Babies don't have the enzymes in their tummies to digest cow's milk before that age.

That's an easy one...all sources agree that a baby needs to be 1 year old (to avoid allergic reations). Of course, if your pediatrican says differently, always go with that.

I would keep cows milk out of the picture altogether - too many allergens and suspected to trigger to diabetes. Goats milk is easier on the intestines.

Doctor's recommend on their 1st birthday to switch them over to whole milk (not skim or 1% because of nutritional reasons)...when they're 2 I think is when my doctor recommends switching to skim or 2%.

12 months old and over! It's not good for the baby's digestive system before 12 months.
