  you do realize you aren't supposed to switch them before a year because there is extra nutrients that they need in formula? What you do with your daughter is your business but giving bad advice to someone else isn't cool

In Canada its 9 months to 12 months. Here is a link to our pediatrics site that are Dr's and pedi give us to go by.
http://www.caringforkids.cps.ca/handouts/feeding_your_baby_in_the_first_year
This is from the site itself.
6 to 9 months 9 to 12 months
Grain products Offer up to 30 to 60 mL (2 to 4 tbsp.) of iron-fortified infant cereal, twice a day. Then try other grain products such as small pieces of dry toast. Offer other plain cereals, whole grain bread, rice and pasta.
Vegetables Offer puréed cooked vegetables—yellow, green or orange. Move to soft, mashed cooked vegetables.
Fruit Offer puréed cooked fruits, very ripe mashed fruits (such as bananas). Try soft fresh fruits, peeled, seeded and diced or canned fruit, packed in water or juice (not syrup).
Meat and alternatives Offer puréed cooked meat, fish, chicken, tofu, mashed beans, egg yolk. Mince or dice these foods into very small pieces.
Milk and milk products

Right here it states 9 months to 12 months
At 9 months, you can offer dairy foods like yogurt (3.25% or higher), cottage cheese or grated hard cheese.
Introduce whole cow’s milk (3.25%). <-----------Here.
After 12 months of age, your baby should not take more than 720 mL (24 oz.) of milk products per day. Too much milk can lead to iron deficiency anemia

Ok I'm sorry I didn't realize you were in Canada. Still just because it's that way in Canada doesn't mean it's right. Is the OP from Canada? I assume not with the way she worded and responded to everyone. I find it hilarious that it states not to give any milk based food before 9 months either. Here you can give milk based foods as soon as they start foods yet they tell us to wait until a year to use cows milk. I still wouldn't switch even if I loved in Canada. Of course, my next child will breast feed longer than my first did

Ahhh well that's a little better I suppose. I only did purées consistently until he was like 7 or so months then he was getting mostly table food and then his baby snacks from Gerber and formula and maybe 1 jar of food a day. Whereas before that it was at least 2 jars of food.
