Got Milk?

Just curious, when can babies start drinking milk and do you go about doing it; do you subsitute the formula for milk, keep in bottles or sippie cups?, same amount of milk and just as often?, what kind of milk? My son is on his way to 11 months, and I've heard to wait until a year, but I have given him just like an ounce or two of my skim milk, and he did fine, but didn't wanna try it again until I learned more.

They say to wait until a year to give them cows milk just in case of allergies. I have heard(some people will disagree) that vitamin D is the best milk for kids. You can put it in a bottle, but most people recomend having them give up their bottle as soon as you can, after they are off formula. So I would try doing it in a sippie cup.
