Cow's milk vs dairy products

[Deleted]

I see that you aren't supposed to give cow's milk to baby until 12 months.
What about things with dairy in them- cheese, yogurt, cottage cheese?  I think I read that these are fine in moderation??
TIA

I've read the same, but I think I may have read that you should wait until 8-9 mo? I could be wrong. DS has a dairy allergy, so we will be waiting until closer to 12 mo and hopefully he will outgrow it.

I've heard that milk is bad because it can displace bm/formula. I think dairy is okay though.

You can give yogurt starting at 6 months. Try to do whole milk plain yogurt and add fruit to sweeten it, instead of buying the flavored yogurt that has added sugar.

ETA: Other dairy stuff is ok too. They just say no to milk so it doesn't take the place of formula or BM.

got it

I thought it also had something to do with dairy allergy.

I eat quite a bit of greek yogurt, so we may do/start with that.

My pedi recommended no dairy until 8-10 months. He said it can be hard on their systems. So we are doing fruits and veggies and a few grains now. We'll add dairy and meat later.
