POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy9 months agoA. At 11 months old, it is generally safe to introduce cow's milk into your baby’s diet, but it should not replace breast milk or formula entirely until they are at least 12 months old. Here’s what you should keep in mind:
1. Gradual Introduction: Start by offering small amounts of full-fat cow's milk. You can mix it with breast milk or formula to help your baby adjust to the taste.
2. Nutritional Value: Cow's milk is a good source of calcium and vitamin D, but it lacks the necessary nutrients found in breast milk or infant formula (like iron and certain fatty acids). Therefore, it should not be the primary drink until after 12 months when your baby can transition more fully.
3. Potential Allergies: Watch out for signs of milk intolerance or allergies, such as rash, vomiting, diarrhea, or excessive gas. If your baby shows these signs, consult with your pediatrician.
4. Avoid Low-Fat Milk: At this age, always offer whole milk (full-fat), as your baby needs the extra fat for growth and brain development.
5. Supplementing with Other Foods: Along with cow's milk, continue to offer a variety of solid foods, including vegetables, fruits, grains, and proteins to ensure balanced nutrition.
If you have any concerns or if your baby has a history of allergies or digestive issues, it’s a good idea to discuss this transition with your pediatrician for personalized guidance.
