My understanding is that having whole milk will not hurt them at this point, but that milk does not have all of the vitamins and minerals that formula will give them and that they still need that young.

Re: Food Question for 9 month old
Here you go . . . .
While there is NO great magic in Yogurt or Cheese, the most common reasons for yogurt and cheese being ok for baby prior to age 1 year old are:
Unlike Whole Cow Milk beverage, your baby is not at risk of formula/breast milk being replaced by Yogurt or Cheese.
The medical community worries that if Whole Cow milk is introduced to an infant prior to 1 year old, that parents would stop formula and/or breastfeeding and use Milk as the replacement. This would possibly be dangerous to your baby's health! They, however, neglect to specify the difference between baby drinking milk and eating yogurt and/or cheese.
Lactose is broken down with the culturing of the yogurt or cheese and milk proteins are either semi-removed or limited. The culturing makes yogurt and cheese easier to digest. Many people with lactose intolerance often are be able to eat cheese and/or yogurt without trouble. The same is often true for some people with a milk protein (either to the casein or the whey) allergy.
