Formula or whole milk?

[DisneyParkLover]

Good to know that whole milk is available. We definitely have to work on a few things before our trip: Drinking water, eating more table foods, and drinking cold drinks instead of room temp. I think I will try milk and still offer formula. Baby is also on gentleease formula so I will be watching to see how milk is tolerated.

Definitely worth starting a slow introduction. There is no rule that you can't give any cow's milk before age 1. You just shouldn't make it a child's primary nutrition source. We were given the okay to start milk when our son starting eating a lot of table foods. We started by mixing half and half with breastmilk or formula for just one bottle a day and watching for any problems. We gradually built up from there. We also used that time to work more on sippy cups. Since we knew he tolerated milk no problem, we were able to switch to all milk and all cups after his birthday. We probably could have even done it earlier, though, as he has always had a healthy appetite!
