  I gave ds whole milk start at 1 year actual - 10.5 months adjusted.  Our pedi wasn't that big into waiting for adjusted age - maybe just for the first few milestones.

  This, exactly. And actually, I started a few weeks early b/c I wanted to make sure she was on WCM for a trip we'd had planned. It worked out well. DD had no issues. I switched out one bottle per day, and she was doing about 4 bottles per day at the time. We also switched her to sippy cups at that time. For whatever reason, she never caught on to holding her own bottle, but did fine holding her sippy herself. The only thing I would have done differently would be to teach her how to use a straw cup instead of the sippies. We only used sippy cups for maybe a month or two, I had my stockpile good to go, and then she learned how to use the straw cups. Those were much easier for us, so we stuck with them.

  We started at actual age but went really slow with the transition.  We started with 1 ounce out of 7 ounces being whole milk then gradually increased every week so the transition took over a month.  I thought it was a good way of easing his body (and mind) into it:-)

  We've been instructed to do all of the eating milestones by actual age, so we switched to whole milk at 1 year actual. We just switched all at once and had no problems. I hope you have good luck as well!
