Tell me about cows milk

[turtleschell]

When are babies meant to swap from BM to Cows Milk?

Why the heck are they even meant to take cows milk? Doesn't it really only have calcium? How is it even comparable to BM or Formula?

And how much cows milk should they have?

DD1 switched to cows milk just before she was 1 but she has never been a big milk drinker...I think its a calcium thing so I just give her lots of yogart and cheese.
Not very helpful sorry

there is nothing to say you need to give cows milk at all!!
how old is bubs??

you can keep on breastfeeding as long as you wish, but if you want to introduce something else, maybe looking into alternative such as rice or oat milk!

DD2 has oat milk on ceral etc.. and is still breastfed, she wont be having cows milk for some years yet, if at all, she did have it on ceral etc.. but was advised to take her off it

Oh awesome, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks it's unnecessary.
DD is only 19 weeks, she will be bf for as long as possible, I was just curious.
So many kids these days are having their tonsils removed and their andoids??? (nasal passage surgery thing) done and I'm sure it's from too much cows milk..
