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

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

@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.

@jclelijah, okay thank 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

@maya_dremom, how did it turn out for you ?

Me

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

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

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

@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, where do you do that ?

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

@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, damn that's crazy

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

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

@arivera64 i understand.

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

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

@xclusivebarbie np

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

@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.

Yw

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

@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.

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

@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.

@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.

@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.

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....

@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.

@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.

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

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

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

Yes, I took both mine off at 6 months.
