POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 6 m old boy1 Year agoA. For an 11-month-old baby, it is generally safe to start introducing cow's milk in small amounts. However, there are a few guidelines to follow:
1. **Introduction:** Begin with a small amount, such as 2-4 ounces, and see how your baby tolerates it. You can mix it with breast milk or formula initially.
2. **Full Transition:** At 12 months, you can gradually increase the amount of cow's milk and begin transitioning from formula or breast milk to cow's milk.
3. **Whole Milk:** Use whole milk rather than reduced-fat or skim milk, as the fat content is important for your baby's growth and development.
4. **Balanced Diet:** Ensure that cow's milk is part of a balanced diet that includes a variety of foods to meet all nutritional needs.
5. **Limit Amount:** Limit cow's milk to 16-24 ounces per day to avoid interfering with the intake of other important nutrients and to prevent anemia.
6. **Consult Pediatrician:** Always consult your pediatrician before introducing cow's milk, especially if your baby has any allergies or dietary concerns.
If you notice any adverse reactions such as digestive issues or allergic symptoms, stop giving cow's milk and consult your pediatrician.
