A year for cows milk,
What age is your LO? If your LO is over 6months they can have followon milk.

If your LO's 1, then full fat cows milk is fine.

Hi - I could be wrong but I thought your ds was premature? Is that right?
Sorry if I am off the mark.
I just thought our babies were about the same age..... I would probably consult your pediatrician just to double check but the general rule is 1 year.

I switched all 3 of my children to cow's milk at 9 mos (on the doctor's advice - I do have larger than average children -Liam is 25lbs) If I had a small baby, I would have waited.
