Weaning off BF to cows milk

How do you cut the last milk feed to cows milk? Do you offer it in a sippy cup or a bottle? (Lo is going to by 1yrs and has never had a bottle only a sippy cup) I'm looking to move from BF to cows milk but confused how to offef it to lo before bed, as it's usually take him up after his milk feed and put him to sleep. Should I warm up the cows milk? Also brushing teeth, i usually brush his teeth before his bf, can I still do that when I give cows milk? Or should I brush his teeth after he's had the milk? (Bit worried this will wake him up and make it hard to get him to sleep) Ftm just looking for advice and to see how/what other people have done 😊

I would do a gradual change from BF to cows milk by offering it in the day but sticking to BF at night until he's comfortable with the cows milk so that you don't disturb his night time routine 😊 I would probably just give him the cows milk in a beaker if he's never had a bottle x

Would you heat it up still? I plan to introduce cows milk in his sippy cup at breakfast instead of water to ease him off morning feed x

We brush teeth before we go into his room and then give the milk in a bottle warmed up after his story while he’s in bed. I did a gradual change to cows milk but my lo was formula fed so I just reduced the amount of formula in the bottle and upped the cows milk every few days. He never noticed and we didn’t have any problems changing over. He now has cows milk cold on a morning in a sippy cup but warmed up in a bottle before bed.

I would heat it up as he wouldn't be used to cold milk just as yet😊xy
