cows milk?

when do we start introducing cows milk - one year? i am trying to figure out how much of a freezer stash i need or how much formula i will go thru when i stop bfeeding around 6 mnths when i plan to introduce food. i picked 6 mnths bc stopping bfeeding will hopefully jumpstart my body to get my period so we can ttc. i will bfeed to a year and beyond if only i can figure a way to trigger the start of my period.

  • FWIW, AF came back for me at 9 mos.  DD started eating solids really well at 8 mos.  So, it might return earlier than a year once your DC takes to solids. 

    DS1 age 7, DD age 5 and DS2 born 4/3/12

  • With DS1 we started just in foods (like bfast cereal) around 8-9 months.  Just a little bit, because I didn't want to pump for just that amount.  Pedi ok'ed it.

    But for drinking, 1 year.

  • We gave it to Hazel right before a year. We were loose with the rules though. 
    i wish i could be joking but my dad is the music teacher at a church so he owuld be mad. we had sex, all the time how bad i know but we dont want to wait and he said GREAT OH KAY! and I was really feeling the wets? down there- too embarsed to say- but he acted like man.
  • With DS1, I slowly introduced it at about 10 months.  I would make bottles 6 oz formula and 2 oz WCM for about 2 weeks.  Then 4 & 4 for two week and 2 & 4 2 weeks.  So by roughly 11 months he he was on 100% WCM.  The gradual intro worked well for him with no problems.

     

    ETA:  about 11.5 months he wad on 100% WCM
