1. Transition to Cow's Milk:
Start introducing whole cow's milk gradually after your baby turns one. Aim for about 2-3 cups of milk per day.
2. Balanced Diet:
Ensure your child continues to have a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, grains, and proteins to meet their nutritional needs.
3. Monitor for Reactions:
Keep an eye out for any allergic reactions or digestive issues when introducing cow's milk. If your child has a history of allergies, consult your pediatrician first.
4. Continue with Breastfeeding (if desired):
If you are still breastfeeding and wish to continue, you can do so alongside regular milk.
5. Avoid Low-Fat Milk:
Stick to whole milk for toddlers under two years old, as they need the extra fat for brain development.
Transitioning to regular milk is a common practice, but ensure that it fits into a varied and nutritious diet for your child. If you have any concerns, consult your pediatrician.
