Milk, dairy & formula for babies and toddlers
Breast milk or infant formula stays your baby's main drink through the first year, while dairy foods such as plain full-fat yogurt and pasteurised cheese can join meals once solids begin. Cow's milk as a main drink usually waits until 12 months, and cow's milk protein is one of the priority allergens. Each page covers the typical starting age, an allergen note and simple ways to serve it.
