I do, but only as a treat. And I dont buy chocolate milk. I get hot coco mix and only use like halk a pack in an 8oz glass. It has less sugar, you can control the amount of chocolate, and it is rnriched with vitamins and calcium.
Be careful though. Some kids wont drink anything but that if you give it too often. I did not introduce it to my son till he was 2 years old as well, but to each his own

My daughter is 11 months and I give her chocolate milk as a treat too.

I just mix it in with her whole milk so that it isn't as strong and so that she is still getting plenty of the fats she needs.
