Milk for 12 Month Old?

My son will be 12 months soon and we are looking forward to getting him off that expensive formula but we aren't sure what to put him on after that. My 3 year old daught went on milk at 12 months with no problem but I keep hearing horror stories about milk. How it's not made for babies and it's not good for them etc. We only ever use organic milk in our house so that's not a big concern but I still hear how milk is out.

Infant with Keratosis Pilaris on Face

I'm looking for any suggestions or success stories with keratosis pilaris on infant cheeks. Around 6 months old, my son started to get what looked like pimples on his cheeks. I thought that it was due to teething and all of the drool. It was progressively getting worse, so I made an appointment with our pediatrician and he said that it was eczema/dry skin and told us to put vaseline on his cheeks. I wasn't convinced that that's what it was, so I made an appointment with a dermatologist and right away he said KP, which is what I thought it...
