Whole milk should be introduced on or after baby's first birthday. It should be given mixed in with baby's formula 2ounces formula to every 1ounce of milk, until their is no more formula left. This can be easy and can be hard and all children are different and will react different. Please have patience with this its a major change for baby. I'm sure you would rather have them on milk which is around $3.50 a gallon apposed to formula which is anywhere from $20-$30 and who said baby's weren't expensive.
Example: At age one i was jumping for joy when the doctor had told us to start introducing whole milk in the same ratio as above. I was so tired of paying $28 for Soy Similac formula 3times a week which yes moms added up to over $4000 for his one year of life. I started and after a week there was no more formula in my sons bottle and gave me no fuss about it while me on the other hand i was jumping for joy. It wasn't only a mile stone in AJ's life but more money in my pocket!
When the time comes enjoy the savings!
Good Luck

Our pediatrician told us that we could start introducing whole milk when out daughter was only 10 1/2 months old. This was because she had been eating table food for a few months now & she was getting her nutrients from the food so she really didn't need the formula. He told us to introduce it using 1/2 whole milk & 1/2 formula in a bottle or sippy cup. After a week she no longer needed the formula. It's not only great because, yes, it saves alot of money, but it also means our little girl is growing up!!
