Cows milk

My baby is turning 1 in Jan and his formula has just finished. I’m thinking to do the switch to cows milk instead of buying another box of formula. Has anyone started their baby a little earlier

I'm sure a little early okay but I think it's advised to slowly introduce not just fully replace, swap 1 bottle for cows milk, and increase

I asked my HV this at my last visit as i use kendamil and the shortage was worried id run out & struggle to get it and she told me a few weeks wont make a difference to go ahead! My LB is 1 on the 8th Jan, i think im going to start gradually weaning him next week x

Cows milk won’t harm them, they just recommend 12 months because of the vits and calcium in formula but if they’re eating balanced meals anyway they’ll be fine. You could always add a vitamin supplement for reassurance x

My sons 1 on 3rd of Jan and I have put him on normal milk now it’s so better and fills him more aswell hes on 1 bottle a day now thats at bedtime now he just has his breakfast lunch and tea with eaither water or a lil bit of watered down juice but only a drop or so
