Encourage child on semisolid diet... Keep milk diet as minimal as you can... You can start cow's milk after 1 yr but keep max 2 cups of milk in 24 hrs

You can introduce cow milk now, if she is also being fed other things too in her diet. Cow milk can not be given exclusively if the baby is being fed milk only, because it is a very poor source of iron and can cause anemia.

Hello,actually speaking one should not give cow milk untill one completed year.Only one more month left so please avoid animal milk till one year.After one year you can safely give cow milk.As she is 11 months old you can all other foods that you cook at home except egg white(introduce egg white after one year).Give formula milk 2 to 3 times per day and not more than that for one more until she is ready for cow milk.If any queries contact me
