A member asked:
My daughter will be 12 months next week would it be okay if i started her on whole milk now?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: 1 week is not going to make it or break it with regard to her iron intake, which is the biggest difference between milk and formula at this age. Do encourage her to eat iron rich foods on a daily basis, though, such as dark greens, meats and if she'll still eat them, iron fortified cereals. If she is not into these things much, give a child vitamin with iron 3-4 times a week. Ask doc to check hgb.
