Few questions Help please

Can please someone tell how to do this?I am trying to put my little one on cows milk but he isn’t eating properly food every day and still prefers formula specially at night..he will still wake at least 3 times so basically every 2h or so.I tried yesterday evening to give him cow’s milk and he actually had 100ml..today only had 60 ml.I think my questions are..How do i feed him during the night? (we always use ready made formula for nights) What if he isn’t eating the meals and wants milk? how much cows milk can have per day as he wakes during the night also..i bought wellbaby vitamins but if i supply with formula (in case he doesn’t want cows milk) i cant give him vitamins? or i give vitamins only when he drinks cows milk all day..Sorry this sounds soo confusing but this is my head right now..

Mix the milk into formula. Start with one or two ounces of milk and top up with formula. It helps them adjust to the taste. Took me two weeks to fully transition to cows milk. I also tried at different temperatures. Hot warm or plain cold out the fridge. Now he prefers freezing cold with ice cubes 😂 If night times are too stressful just stick with the formula until you figure out the day time milk. Little changes and small steps are still ok, every baby has their own way. Vitamins go on the food normally. And again. Don’t stress. Stick with one thing you want to achieve this month. Nail it together. Then think about the next change. As long as they’re eating veggies and fruits protein etc they’ll be fine xxx

@Incognito Thank you so much ☺️ I feel overwhelmed by all of this..and behind tbh..i dread this chance bcse i know nights will be carnage..he doesn’t even wait to do a bottle of milk 1min at the machine, i have to do ready made formula next to bed..he is screaming for milk and if i am not fast enough he will just be awake..always been like this..so cows milk during the night scares me a little..i will start like you said..just slowly introduce it and stick if needed w formula at night..thank you again x🌹

We did 2 weeks of 50/50 milk/ formula. Then onto warm milk. Still trying to get him onto cold milk. But I have slowly reduced his milk to when he gets up, bedtime and if he is particularly angsty

Wean the cows milk into the formula , never try to give 100% of the new milk to the baby as it will taste foreign to them and most likely will get put off of it ! 😭 I’ve had many a time where my LO wouldn’t want the bottle because of this If you’re giving your baby 8 oz in every bottle then in the beginning give them 1 oz of cows milk and rest formula and slowly weaaan it to 8 oz of cows milk. within a week they should be drinking full cows milk, use cows milk in their foods too like weetabix so they feel more comfortable

@Alana Thank you 🙏
