    I don't get chance to post very often but wondering if anyone knows when prem babies can have cows milk? Is it actual or corrected age? Google gives conflicting info and unfortunately my HV didn't seem to know. We're not seeing consultant for a while either. 

    Thanks in advance :)

    My son had cows milk at 12 months (9 corrected). HV and consultants were fine with this.

    This was 8.5 yrs ago though, so not sure if that is still the case. Hopefully, a more recent preemie Mum will be able to help.

    Cows’ milk

    Most babies can drink cows’ milk from

    around 15-18 months. Use full fat cows’

    milk and give your child daily Healthy

    Start vitamin drops or a children’s

    vitamin supplement containing

    vitamins A and D until five years of age

    (unless you are advised otherwise by

    a health professional). Healthy Start

    vitamin drops should be available at

    low cost from your local baby clinic

    and are free to those on benefits

    All ages given in this booklet

    are calculated from the

    date your baby was born,

    no matter how premature

    that was (unless otherwise stated).

    S had it at 12 months actual- 10 months corrected. Didn't have any issues. To be honest I didn't think to check! He'd been weaned for ages by then so he'd had lots of dairy etc
