Hubby gave whole milk to 8 month old

I'm concerned. My supply is extremely low because I'm pregnant again and my hubby texted me saying that he was giving our almost 9 month old organic whole milk because he seemed thirsty. He drank 3 ounces before I could respond. Should I be worried?

    One time won't hurt him. But make sure he doesn't continue to give it.

    Don't worry!  Babies eat cheese, yogurt, etc., with no problem.  Whole milk shouldn't be a substitute for BM or formula because it doesn't have the right mix of nutrients, but it isn't harmful.

    My MIL told me they used to switch babies to WCM at 3 months old when her first children were born (nearly 50 years ago). Your 9 month old will be just fine.

    Cheese and yogurt aren't the same as drinking cow's milk. The culturing process breaks down the lactose, which is why many babies are able to tolerate yogurt and cheese.

    OP, agree with PPs. Your LO will be fine although it may upset his stomach a little.
