There are no milk allergies in my family and DS didn't react at all when I gave him milk in his weetbix (whoops, that was before plunket said I couldn't), so can I use a bit of milk in his mashed potatoes etc now that he's 9.5 months old? ------------- Lisa mummy to Ryan http://www.alterna-tickers.com">

DD quite often has milk with things. Milk on weetbix since she was around 7mths and I don't worry too much about it. I'm sure it'll be fine  DD has tried Paris mash, which is equal quantities potatoes, cream & butter! (Only a small amount though  )
Everything in moderation and as long as you're confident there isn't any allergies to worry about then go for it

Marvellous thanks for that Anna! I wasn't worried about the milk thing but plunket said I shouldn't so I stopped doing it, he'd only had it twice anyway with weetbix (I thought I saw that the other March mummies were).
I think I may just do what I feel like with the food and not worry about the charts too much ------------- Lisa mummy to Ryan http://www.alterna-tickers.com">

I used milk in cooking from about 7mo with Callum, we were sure there were no allergies to worry about and, honestly? I thought Plunket were saying now that dairy in cooking is fine? We've also given C yoghurt and cheese from around that age too. No probs - he LOVES dairy! ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

He has yoghurt daily too, and cheese every couple of days and no issues there (like his Daddy, he loves Cheese haha)
Yea I thought it was fine too but when I mentioned to her that I gave Ryan milk in his weetbix she said not to til 12 months! ------------- Lisa mummy to Ryan http://www.alterna-tickers.com">

I think just any milk before 12 months should be formula or BM, not so much not to give dairy at all, I could be wrong though. I also thought that weetbix before 12 months wasn't recommended? something to do with the sodium content? -------------

Plunket said milk was fine in food/cooking as long as its not the main source of milk kwim. With weetbix they don't reccommend it as too much fibre, however i have given it to all my kids from 6-7months every 2nd or 3rd day without any probs. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  DD 1999 DS 2003 DS 2006 DD 2009 |

Ditto re the main issue with dairy before 12m being not to rely on it as the main source of milk. This is the advice given here in Singapore too ------------- SJ Callum - Dec 2008 Daniel - Oct 2010 |

In NZ plunket says to delay dairy food, but in the UK dairy food is ok from 6mths.
But ditto to the comments about not having milk as a drink under 12mths. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I seems to depend on who your Plunket Nurse is though They don't all seem to give the same advice. I think it really comes down to common sense and everything in moderation.
I also don't quite understand why anyone would give their young babies a bottle of cows' milk when it clearly says ''Not suitable for infant consumption'' (or something along those lines) on the bottle.
