A member asked:
When can you start giving cows milk to an infant?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
12 months of age: Breast milk and /or formula are best until the age of 12 months, at which time it is ok to change to whole or 2% (lowfat) milk. It is ok to start babies on yogurt, however, with the rest of their sold foods prior to one year.
