Weaning a Baby Six Months to One Year Old

It may be helpful to refer to the information about how to wean a baby under six months, since you’ll probably be using bottles and formula. For an older baby on solid foods, you may not need to feed quite as much formula.

The United States and United Kingdom recommend human milk or formula rather than cow milk for the entire first year. Canada’s guidelines allow for cow milk from nine months on, provided the baby received human milk instead of formula until nine months. Their reasoning? Formula causes tiny intestinal bleeds in many children, which compromise their iron stores. But children need a good iron source throughout their first year. If they’ve lost iron through long-term formula-feeding, they need a better iron source than cow milk for those last three months.
