Cows Milk

I'm the same as you in that I've only given her cows milk in meals so it'd be interesting to see what others say!

I'm just thinking if I give him small cups here and there for the next 5/6 weeks will it make the transition easier. First time mum worries 😂

I'm with you there!😂 tbh I was toying with the idea of adding a little to her formula, and increase it in the couple/few weeks leading up to her birthday but who knows 😂 then it's like, do we gradually reduce the formula to nothing or go from her normal bottles the day before her birthday, to nothing at all/straight swap to cows milk?? Definitely overthinking this I think 😂😂

Honestly I wouldn't worry. My eldest was on prescription formula for a milk allergy and last year swapped straight away to soya milk with no issues at all. The more fuss you make the more fuss they make. If they are fussy easiest way to do it is do a reduction. So say the have 6oz bottles start on a Monday with every bottle that day 5oz formula 1oz cows milk Tuesday you do 4oz and 2oz and so on and so forth but honestly you'll be surprised they usually swap easily and fast

Also you don't immediately have to stop on their first birthday if you need to use it longer in addition to food you can they make toddler milks

I’ve been giving my son some on a morning as my daughter (2 years old) likes to share hers with him. He’s ebf and loves when he has cows milk to drink. My daughter was weaned onto cows milk completely just after 11 months old too

They don't have to be off formula the day they turn 1 it's reccomended they are off by 18 months so I won't be doing it till after her birthday and the next lot of vaccinations! They'll find comfort from the bottle after that ordeal 🤣

My LB had some cow's milk to drink for the first time at his first settling in session at nursery on Tuesday. I usually use it for his breakfast as well.

I definitely don't want to use toddler milk so we were planning on introducing milk around the time he turns one, not the exact day her turns one, just whenever we run out of our formula stockpile around from that. I think I'll give him a few bits over the next few weeks to see if he enjoys it.

Yes she loves it
