A member asked:
My baby just turned 11 months & i gave him half formula half cows milk today. so far hes had 3 blowouts and his bottom is very red. i just read giving cows milk before 1 can cause internal bleeding and now im worried, will he be okay?

Best to just hold off on the cows milk. There is just a risk for intestinal bleeding and with the large bowel movements I assume you saw no blood so that is reassuring. The proteins and minerals in the milk are difficult for young babies' kidneys plus the nutrition in cows milk is not the right combination for young babies.
