Whole Milk
Allergen: dairy
Whole Milk contains a common allergen (dairy). Current guidelines recommend introducing allergens early (from 6 months) as this may reduce allergy risk. Introduce on its own, offer a small amount first, and wait 2-3 days before introducing another new allergen. Watch for signs of allergic reaction: hives, swelling, vomiting, or difficulty breathing. Consult your pediatrician if your baby is at high risk for allergies.
How to Prepare
Not recommended as a drink before 12 months (displaces breast milk/formula nutrition). Small amounts in cooking or baking are fine from 6 months. After 12 months, whole milk can be a main drink.
Nutritional Highlights
Rich in calcium, vitamin D, protein, and fat. After 12 months, provides essential nutrients for growth. Choose whole milk (not reduced fat) until age 2.
