Just that really . Can’t remember if I’ve asked this before . It’s organic whole milk I have here, or do I have to use her milk ? I know they can’t have it as a Main drink until I the age of 1 but in cooking is it okay?

Yes I do it - can’t see how it’s different to dairy yoghurt, cheese etc.

Yep! As you say, it's about not having cows milk as a main drink but used in food is absolutely fine

Yes, you can.

Yes you can use cows milk in cooking and cereal from 6 months

I often used breastmilk for DD’s portion because we needed to use up the freezer stash and dd didn’t like drinking the milk that had been frozen. Cows milk is fine for cooking though. It just can’t replace the nutrition of breastmilk or formula as the main meal.

Yes of course.
It's not toxic, it's just not nutritious enough to be the main drink for babies.
