Has anyone actually given their baby whole milk before age 1 ?

Yes, I took both mine off at 6 months.

@babycakes20, they didn't get sick or anything ?

At the most, doctors give the ok to mix half whole milk with half formula around 11 months old but not before that.

I took my daughter off of formula and gave her whole milk at 6 months and she's a healthy baby. She didn't get sick or anything

@arivera64, I mean I give her sugar milk when she is constipated so I don't see the actual harm in giving her plain milk especially since she is already eating table food. When we eat cereal we have regular milk. I just don't understand all of this.

@teannakimbrel, I just wanna give her a little to get her through the night I dropped & wasted the last can I had & all the stores are closed. I mean I give her sugar milk when she is constipated so I don't really see the harm in it.

Sugar milk? The problem is that the digestive system is not made to process that milk until after a year. To be quite honest our bodies are not made to process cows milk period. That's why so many people experience stomach issues like gas etc after having milk. But you're already giving her whole milk so....

@arivera64, her dad & grandma started it and she didn't get sick & it actually helped her so I was just like what's the harm. I don't give it to her daily or anything I just needed something to get her thru the night since I wasted the last can I had & everything is closed.

@xclusivebarbie she will be fine it won't harm her. My daughter was drinking whole milk at 6 months and so on and I mean a whole bottle/cup of it.

@mcrowell0970, she's 10 months I don't plan on taking her off the formula I just needed something to get her thru the night since I wasted the last can of milk she had & all the stores are closed.

@teannakimbrel, okay thank you very much. Now I won't be too worried.

@xclusivebarbie well its your call. You're her parent. I will say just because someone else gave their kid whole milk and they are "ok" doesn't mean the same for everyone. It is NEVER recommended to start whole milk any earlier than 11-12 months.

@arivera64, thank you I'll keep that in mind.

Yw

@xclusivebarbie each mother has their own way of doing things when it comes to their child. And my way didn't harm my baby so... Use your own instincts whether it's only milk for the night or every other day.

@teannakimbrel, I will definitely keep that in mind thank you for your help.

@xclusivebarbie np

Next time just say yes. Less of a "discussion". @arivera64 @mcrowell0970 🤦🏻‍

@js_kidsmom well I don't want to be one of those people giving bad advice. 😉

@arivera64 i understand.

All the stores are closed? You don't have a Walmart?

@amouryaya09, unfortunately we don't. It's about a hour away three towns over.

@xclusivebarbie, damn that's crazy

@amouryaya09, ikr ! But I guess because it's a small town they think we don't need it & it might put everyone else outta business.

@xclusivebarbie, that's normally what happens. My city is pretty big so there's about 5 Walmart in a 30 mile radius lol

@amouryaya09, that's exactly where I need to be & I would prefer a Walmart over the crappy stores we have here now. The town is so small if you blink you'll miss it.

@xclusivebarbie, I imagine they don't keep everything in stock? I try to order my sons formula in bulk because stores never want to stock anything

@amouryaya09, where do you do that ?

@xclusivebarbie, Walmart online. I get a 4 pack of the big cans of formula. It gets me through a few weeks and it takes 2 days to ship

@amouryaya09, I'm going to look into that right now. You are a life saver.

@xclusivebarbie, no problem girl! It saves so much time.

@amouryaya09, it will & plus I won't have to worry about going thru thus again.

Me

@maya_dremom, how did it turn out for you ?

I did . I slowly had to ween him off formula milk cause one time I gave whole milk to him for a straight 2 weeks and he was breaking out all over his body cause he simply just wasnt used to it but by his first birthday well even before we got rid of formula and he was drinking it just fine

@jclelijah, okay thank you !
