Can someone remind me when it is ok to introduce cows' milk etc to a baby, when there is no allergies in the family? Is it 9mos?  -------------  |

| I started giving addison diary food, cheese etc.. from about 9mths with no problems, left milk for drinking till 12months but I reckon you would be sweet with custard |

The official word from Plunket is 8-9 months plus for yoghurt, custard, cheese etc. and 12 months plus for drinking cows milk, but there are some brands of yoghurt that do a 6 mth + one. ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

Ok so curly question for yas: why is custard and yoghurt ok at 9mos when it contains milk, but no drinking milk until 12mos? What's the difference, just portion size? ------------- |

| I'd say it was portion size cos they are still getting a lot of their nutrients from milk at 9 months so cows milk wouldn't have enough for them. |
