Cow's milk at 11mo

My DS has been ebf plus solids for 10.5 months. I'm going back to work next month so am trying to gradually switch to formula during the day - but he hates it! However, he will drink cow's milk. Given I'm still bfeeding at night, do you think a slightly early switch to cow's milk will do any harm? And will I be judged? wink

My DD has cows milk in nursery from 10mo. It's not a main drink as its just 20-30ml, definitely not replacing a bf or ff. I asked this before and also on dr Jackman Newman site it says it's ok.

I think it depends on how much your LO will drink. Mine is basically off bf during the day.

mine was 12 months, but i dont think there is any reason why not at 1 months.
full fat stuff though, never gave him the semi skimmed.

I don't think a month will make tha much difference, especially as you are still bfing too.

Thanks all! Will gleefully chuck the rest of the sodding formula away then smile
