Your baby has already been exposed to milk through cheese and yoghurt so whole milk should not have a too strong of a reaction on her if she eats the other foods just fine.
The color of poop does not mean anything unless it’s red (direct quote from parents magazine) if there is mucus in the poop or diarrhea then your little one had a reaction to the milk. Consider postponing the introduction for another few weeks/month. Also purchase organic milk.
Symptoms of milk allergy:
Skin reactions:
Immediate rash around the mouth.
Swelling of lips, mouth, tongue, face or throat.
Generalized eczema on the trunk.
Eczema behind ears and in body creases, such as neck and elbows.

save the yogurt until the baby is old enough to digest it
Health experts and breastfeeding experts agree that it’s best to wait until your baby is around six months old before offering solid foods. The American Academy of Pediatrics, the World Health Organization, and many other health organizations recommend that babies be exclusively breastfed (no cereal, juice or other foods) for the first 6 months of life.
Signs that indicate baby is developmentally ready for solids include:
* Baby can sit up well without support.
* Baby has lost the tongue-thrust reflex and does not automatically push solids out of his mouth with his tongue.
* Baby is ready and willing to chew.
* Baby is developing a “pincer” grasp, where he picks up food or other objects between thumb and forefinger. Using the fingers and scraping the food into the palm of the hand (palmar grasp) does not substitute for pincer grasp development.
* Baby is eager to participate in mealtime and may try to grab food and put it in his mouth.
