Have any moms started their breast fed babies on cows milk a couple weeks before their first birthday? I want to gradually introduce it but I know you're suppose to wait to a year old.

My pediatrician actually recommended doing it slowly starting at 11 months and tapering off the formula... so I think you'd be fine!

@dreamermom, that's what I wanted to do but my pediatrician said no. I don't see any harm though. Thank you! :)

When it comes to introducing new things like food or milk you should wait for the okay from your pediatrician. Cows milk proteins are very harsh on babies bellys. If your pediatrician is saying no, then it's probably for a good reason.

And breast milk to cows milk will be a very drastic change in diet even introduced in small amounts.

@melissasfambam, my daughter had a milk allergy, so she's just now able to drink cows milk without getting super bad rashes! We ended up not getting her off formula until almost 16 months, and then we transitioned her to almond milk, instead of cows milk!
