Ween off Formula

Hi mamas, I'm trying to ween my 1yo off of formula during the day to whole milk... he absolutely hates it and it's the end of the world, lol. What are some things that you are trying to help ween or what brand milk are you getting? I just got generic whole milk but i'm thinking of getting the Horizons new development one (but $8 for half a gallon😅) any advice please! He's been on formula since he was 2 weeks old

$8 a gallon still beats formula prices in my head, I was paying $45 a can 😂 #girlmath I give my baby the horizons lactose free so it’s a bit easier on their tummies too. I switched a few days ago to whole milk and I was crying with him he wouldn’t stop crying for 4 hours straight. And as far as the weening, I would only give him that milk during bedtime, and I would give him Formula the rest of the feedings and then once the Formula finished, I just gave him regular milk

I warm the milk and add some formula. It could be a taste thing. I also water it down. I try food and water first and then milk. I’m still trying to get him to eat as much as he should be though too. 😭

My first born hated milk too. She never took to it. Shes almost 3 and still won’t drink milk. Ask your pediatrician, but mine said as long as she was eating a variety of solids well, drinking water for fluids, that it was totally fine and to just supplement with vitamin d drops.

Have you tried mixing it with the formula/breastmilk so they get used to the taste? I recently saw an IG post with some replacement ideas for babies who don’t like whole milk!

@Deanna Yes I have! He immediately knows there's cows milk in it even though he's now on toddler formula that is whole milk 😭 Trying everything honestly he just has super human senses🤣
