A member asked:
When can my baby have dairy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
By 4 month?: Baby formula is essentially made from milk-protein and so it is dairy, just well-processed. By 4 months, baby can have cereal, stage1 baby-food etc..A bit of tasty ice cream to try is not a bad thing either. The reason regular milk is not used because it does not have a good balance of important substances such as faffy acid and certain vitamins etc compare to formula.. Good luck.
