Milk question

Everything I read says no cows milk until after 1 yr old. I am fine with that. My question is, things say that whole milk yogurt and cheeses are okay though, but isn't whole milk cows milk? I don't want to give my 9 month old any yogurt or cheese until I know for sure. (I'm in no hurry to give him any "people" food).

    The problem with milk is the lactose. Yogurt and cheese are fine before a year old because there is a lot less lactose in them than straight whole cow's milk. I would suggest starting with just a little and see if you notice anything wrong. Just like you would with any other new food. Usually the warning signs are vomiting, diarrhea or a rash. I've been giving my daughter dairy products since around 7 months and she's done fine with them. Everything in moderation.

    Our doctor recommended introducing whole milk in their oatmeal at mealtime so they can adjust easier when we decide to give them plain milk

    Same here.  We slowly introduced whole milk yogurt (stonybrook or whatever it's called).  I would mix it with oatmeal or give it to him straight with fruit mixed in with it.  Just a little at a time.  Now he is at the point where he can eat about ....a half cup of the stuff?  Maybe less, maybe more  I just eyeball it.  Unfortunately it will cause some slight constipation so make sure you are giving plenty of fluid.  As with cheese he just really isn't a fan of it lol so I plan on reintroducing it again soon.
