Dr. John Chiu answered

Whole milk: There is no reason why he can't be fed whole milk and table food at age 1. Just switch from formula to milk if you want. As for weaning off the bottle, this will depend on the child. Be sure not to let him suck on the bottle while lying on his back- this is one way to cause ear infections.
