A 9-month-old should not drink store-bought milk, meaning packaged cow's milk, before age 12. Cow's milk is hard on the digestive system at this age, blocks iron absorption, and carries allergy risk. Turkey's Ministry of Health and World Health Organization (WHO) don't recommend cow's milk before age 12. If your baby has started drinking cow's milk and you notice any fussiness, diarrhea, vomiting, rash, or bloody stool, go to your pediatrician without delay. If general condition is okay, it's still good to tell a specialist—possible anemia (low blood) or milk allergy may need further evaluation.
