rg replied. Shweta,
This is to answer your query on starting whole milk....well i will go w'h ck that if you can bf your baby for 1-2 months more you shd do that. But if thats not possible, then you can ask your ped & see if the doc ok's whole milk at 9-10 months.
I know 1-2 of my friends who shifted their babies at 10 months from formula to whole milk infact since i've to go to india in nov they were telling me to start whole milk for tanya now itself so that she'll adjust well to the change.I'm waiting to ask her ped b4 doing so, if i get a chance il go to the doc this week itself & let you know wt she says.
Don't fret much over this issue, whole milk/bf/formula shd be all fine at this stage, give whatever you are most satisfied w'h. ck replied. Again I want to know why you gave up bf? Can't u pump and feed in bottle or cup?

Your baby should be above 9 months now right? Yeah, they say until 1 yr bm/formula is the best. But they give cow's milk in India right from birth. My doc said they can't afford to buy formula in India thatz y they give whole milk. So I don't see any problem to give cow's milk now. IT IS YOUR PERSONAL DECISION. What can you do if your baby doesn't take formula and you can't bf? I feel cow's milk is fine at this stage. I'm actually thinking of switching to cow's milk for her now. My daughter is 10 months old.

You are the mom, you know what is best for your baby. Whatever you decide will be the best decision for your child.

Best Wishes,
CK
