    Divsiv, my baby was on Enfamil and I had no problems with it. Yes, it is recommended to wait for a year before introducing the whole milk. Since baby is just 2 months away from 1 year, perhaps its OK to start giving whole milk. Check with the doctor and see what he says.

    Try Enfamil Gentlease. I'm giving it to my baby. It is supposed to be gentle on tummies, help with gassiness, etc. Don't know how true is that but my pediatrician swears by it. :)

    By the way, in India, as far as I know they start cow's milk (or is it buffalo's?) for the newborn herself. At least SIL's DD used to have milk from milkman when she was not even 5 days old. Anyone have any idea about this?
