Cows Milk

Hi All, my little one is coming upto 11 months this week. She's does drink formula but not alot compared to what I've seen other babies drink the same age but she's always been the same. She prefers food over her formula normally. I just wanted to know if anyone has tried their baby with cows milk before they turned one and any tips would be so grateful🙂 I've seen a few different comments on here but I just don't think they'd work for her. Atm she is only having about 2/3 bottles of formula a day and even then she doesn't always drink it. Do I just swap one of her bottles to cows and do you put same amount in as you would formula? Sorry for all the questions FTM🙈

I’m in the same boat, my daughter usually does 3 bottles a day before naps/bedtime but doesn’t seem dependant on it. I’m probably going to start giving her a few sips of whole milk soon to get her used to the taste (she has it with cereal etc) and then attempt to swap out the bottles for whole milk gradually leaving the bedtime bottle until the last. Then I guess at some point switch away from the baby bottles into some sort of sippy cup. I have about 4 tubs of formula left in the cupboard so the aim is to not have to buy more!! My son (now 4) took a couple of months to transition from formula and onto sippy cups! He was generally hard work though so hoping my daughter who is a lot more chilled will be better with it 😂 I don’t think there is any right or wrong way, just gradually swap out so they can adjust 😊 I found there was more pressure to stop using bottles and switch to an open cup/sippy cup because of their teeth, but they all get there eventually!

Hiya, my girl is 10 months, she loves her food, I did the switch 3 days ago, she only has 1 x 9oz bottle before bed, so I just did. Straight swap from formula to cows milk and have had no issues apart from she wants more 😂. I warm it up for 1 min in microwave and let her drink it from a bottle currently. Only because she still struggles with water from a puppy cup, she’ll drink it fine but then the last mouth fall she just spits it out, almost like she can’t swallow quick enough before releasing from the cup x She has had cows milk with her porridge for about a couple of weeks now prior to the bottle change x

No yet as we are end of december but i’m going to swap 1oz of bottle for cows milk and just build it that way.

Thank you for all the advice ladies it's much appreciated😃 my baby is currently off food a minute think she's teething back teeth coming through. So will try cows milk and porridge as she does enjoy that when she eats normal and gradually go from there. I just feel it's so much pressure on us regarding this when it shouldn't be xx
