How much whole milk?

How did you add the cows milk when making up the formula or did you add it just before heating up?

I think might be giving me LO a little too much but it's what she wants so 🤷‍♀️ she's getting x2 7oz and x1 9oz and she still seems to be wanting more

As I'm finding it hard working everything out

@hannah I added it in after. Towards the end of the tub, I split it in to daily amounts which slowly reduced. Made the formula up in the morning and split it between 3 bottles and the topped up with cows milk to the right amiunt

@Chiara I like that idea thank you I'm gonna have to do that

@hannah we reduced the formula by an ounce every few days and topped it up with cows milk. So made the bottle as normal then added the cows milk 😊

@Chiara I’m sure I read somewhere that they shouldn’t have a certain amount of cows milk but I can’t find it now 😅 hence why I was worried that I was giving her too much! She does cry sometimes when I’ve done a 5oz bottle

My LB is on 2x bottles a day and we are currently doing 4oz Formula & 3oz Cows milk. He also gets cows milk in his weetabix/porridge in the morning! X

Yeah i read it some where as well. But everything is so conflicting. One website says up to 16oz, another says a minimum of 400ml. I guess it's the same with formula, they recommend a certain amount of that too, some babies need more some need less. I think my little one is having a growth spurt as the only type of food she's really interested in at the minute is dairy so I'm just going with it lol

I went straight to cows milk which at first she was loving drinking about 6ozs three times a day however since having her jabs she won’t eat anything and will only drink formula milk. If I try her with cows milk she just dribbles it out 🤦🏽‍♀️ and food literally gets chucked 😩

Around 12oz (360ml) a day as a drink 😊 we use it in cooking too!

@Siobhan oh no! My daughters got her jabs next week, hope that doesn’t happen to us! 😅

@Yasmin Thankyou! Do you do two bottles then? X

@Rachel yes, 6oz in morning and again before bed 😊 we are in the process of trying to get our LO to take it from a cup instead of a bottle too so it's taking a little longer to finish the full amount - she's getting there though, she'll take about 4oz in a cup and the rest in a bottle atm!

@Rachel she has actually eaten some broccoli, cheese and potato tots this afternoon but still won’t drink whole milk 🫣 everyone I’ve spoken to have said their LOs have been ok so it could just be coincidence she’s a bit under the weather.

My wee boys is getting 3oz cows milk in the morning after his Weetabix. And a 3oz formula/3oz cows at 12pm. And then a 3oz formula /5oz bottle at bedtime
