Yogourt (OT)

Does anyone have any solid references which explain why yogourt is different
from cow's milk and, therefore, can be introduced earlier than cow's milk?
(By solid, I mean true scientific data). My DH (family physician by trade)
is going on and on about cow's milk being introduced too early can
contribute to onset of type 1 diabetes and I'm saying "BUT IT'S YOGOURT, NOT
COW'S MILK"

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

From what I understand it also has to do with the quantity given. Yogurt is
given maybe once a day, and maybe a few tablespoons, but when people
normally give cow's milk, it is to replace formula, or breastmilk in their
diet, so a lot more is given, so more reaction will be noticed. If you eat
a handful of Strawberries you are fine, but try eating it for every meal,
and you may not be.....
