Can babies drink whole milk at 10 months?

Answer 1

no.their intestines havent matured fully enough to digest it...gotta wait til 12 months......doesnt seem to be that much difference in time to us but babies bodies need every little second!

Answer 2

Well ten months is young. Usually you should wait until 12 months. Baby digestive tracts are very sensitive to milk proteins. If you do decide to try milk you can try the enfimil next step which has some milk proteins and all the nutrients that a child his age needs. If you do decide to start milk, limit milk intake to 16 to 24 ounces per day. Use pasteurized whole milk. Babies triple their weight in the first year. That is why you want to use whole milk. Whole milk gives them all the vitamins and fat they need at this age. Once they turn 2 you can switch to a 2% milk. During the second year of life their growth weight slow down. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

They can, and it won't hurt them if they've been having no problems with milk-based formula. BUT they shouldn't have it instead of formula until one year. AFter seven babies I am STILL getting the lecture on this from my pediatrician because he thinks it is so important. Babies need the extra calories, fat, and nutrients in formula/breastmilk until they are one for best development. Cow's milk just doesn't cut it nutritionally. But if you are stuck without formula at a restaurant or a friend's house, some milk won't hurt the baby. Just don't make it a regular thing instead of formula.

Answer 4

Well actually, yes you can. In Canada babies can be given cows milk as the main drink from 9 months. Just make sure it is full fat milk. I'd add a multivitamin in there too.

Answer 5

No,only Formula whole Milk after one year

Answer 6

Yup........
I would not take him/her off formula yet, but whole milk will not hurt. Give it with a meal or snack. You will have to decrease the formula as you increase the milk though. the baby should have 16 to 24 ounces of combined whole milk/formula per day.

Answer 7

they probably can drink at 10 months but most doctors recommend whole milk after 1 year of age.

Answer 8

they can but they say it isnt good until 12 months becuase their bodies cant really digest the real milk until then . during bad times i had to feed my baby real milk at 10 months for less than a week and he was okay. but i still did formula until age 1

Answer 9

Yes and No. I'm sure it wouldn't hurt them, since they can eat cheese, pasta, yogurt, and other things at that age, (6 mo- cerial, 7 mo- veggies 8- fruit 9- meats 10- gradually increase foods one every couple of days) however, it shouldn't be substituted for their formula or breast milk. Also, lactose is one of the more common allergies among babies. My boys were both very sensitive to it at a young age.

Answer 10

no, usually the recommended age for giving your baby whole milk is 12 months.

Answer 11

I wouldn't introduce whole cow milk at this age but whole goat milk would be fine.
There is a large difference between the two. Goat milk is closest to human breast milk in it's makeup. Compared to cow milk, the protein composition (specifically, the whey/casein ratio) of goat milk more closely resembles that of human milk. This makes it much easier for your child, or anyone for that matter, to digest.

You can purchase it either pasturized or unpasturized depending on your state laws. Some parents are proponents for one or the other.
You can purchase it by the gallon (frozen) and it'll be shipped to you in dry ice to ensure it remains frozen. That's the best way to get it. There are plenty of Grade A Goat Dairies in our country.

I'm sure you can email them to inquire. If they don't do this, I'm sure they know who does. I know they do make and market goat cheeses, yogurts, etc... for some of the finest restaraunts.
