Milk transitioning - General Parenting

Chevy_Gurl · 08-28-2007, 10:03 AM

Okay so I am a nerd, help a lady out. When did you transition your child onto milk? did you wait till they were fully 12 months, after they hit a year old, or start before hand?

I started my son at 11 months...started out with a half oz once a day, then at 11.5mths went to 1-2oz a day, then by 12mths we were on it completely.

As per my ped we started at 11 months. I did 1/4 milk and 3/4 formula for 1 full week. Then half and half for 1 full week. Then 1/4 formula and 3/4 milk for 1 week so by 12 months he was fully on milk. He had no probs

i started at about 11 months, did some mixing with the formula at first and then gradually shifting to milk full time before they hit a year.

I started DD at 11 months, a little bit with each meal. Now she gets about 12 oz in the morning & at night.

At 11 months I started Ethan on regular soy milk. Then at around 14 months I transitioned him to Lactose-Free whole milk. Then around 16 months onto regular whole milk.
Lactose intolerance runs in my family and I was afraid that Ethan might've had it since he had been on soy formula...

My oldest has never had real cows milk he drinks rice milk. He has dairy allergies. My youngest has also yet to have cows milk he is 15 months. He still drinks breast milk when he is between 18 & 24 months I will start giving him rice milk or goats milk.

My son is the same way. I'm having a hard time getting him to drink any milk other than mine

I offer him cow's milk at every meal but he just likes to play with it!
