weening off formula?

Question

So my doctor gave me a paper during my sons 9 month checkup and it had a list of how baby should be progressing and such. On the paper it also had a list of foods they can't have like eggs peanuts milk etc. 
my question though.... if I were to introduce milks at his age (10months) would that hurt him?? He used to drink his bottle just fine but now he doesn't. I've always given him 6 oz and here lately he just hasn't been finishing them or seem interested in them. I dont know if it's because he's more active and he don't wanna sit still to drink it or if he is starting to not like it anymore. He eats table foods. I've done the BLW with him so i dont know if that has anything to do with him maybe not liking the taste of formula anymore? But i dont know what to do? His formula has a lot of vitamins in it that he needs. And I hear milk before 12 months is dangerous because their tummys aren't mature enough for it yet. 
 Not sure what to do? 
I've tried his sippy cup too, thinking maybe it doesn't come out fast enough for himfrom his   bottle but even in his sippy cup he won't always finish it.

Answer

I know all doctors are different but mine gave the ok for anything but drinking cows milk & honey. The eggs & peanut butter allergies are less likely introduced earlier. So my daughter has had everything but those two things so far (she is 10mo)
Some doctors give the ok to start introducing milk around this time with maybe a couple of ounces here and there. I've heard goats milk is a good option as well to start with as it is easier to digest. Good luck

Answer

Once my son started eating regular food, he didn't want as much milk (formula.) Which is fine with me, that way I don't have to buy as much of it so often lol. And he eats everything we put in front of him, so at least I feel at ease that he's getting all his nutrients from food. We do give our son eggs and he loves them and hasn't had any bad reaction or stomach issues. As of right now my son has an 8 oz bottle in the morning, (I did have to get faster flowing nipples for his bottle because he was getting upset with the flow lol.) And then he has another 8oz bottle in the middle of the day, and then one before bed. In between those there's naps and solid foods. I know all doctors are different so just listen to yours and do what you think is best for you and your baby!! I will tell you that if you folllow easytoddlermeals on instagram/Pinterest you will LOVE her and all of the good idea and advice she gives!

I hadn't heard about no eggs or peanuts? My daughter eats scrambled eggs for breakfast most days. She stole a pb granola bar from me and was eating it, was OK. I don't purposely give her peanut butter yet though. I was told wait until 1 also. But I've let her try whole milk one night when we ran out of formula. Just introduce it slowly starting a few weeks before 1, 1 ounce at a time mixed in their bottles, adding another ounce a week. I figure she's close enough to 1 I can get her used to the taste now and it won't hurt her in small amounts.

Answer

After having my 9 month old son never  take a bottle because I waited til he was 6 weeks old to introduce like the doctors suggested.. I don't listen to shit they have to say anymore. 
Start mixing in an ounce of whole milk til he is 12 months. It's not gonna hurt him. My son is 9 1/2 months and has about 1-2 ounces of milk every other day. And I also use it to mix his oatmeal. I wouldn't give him more than an ounce a day though. Just because I know it is a little tough on there tummies. Also keep up with the fruits and veggies.

Answer

I let my son try 2 ounces of milk recently and he's ten months old. I didn't know it affected their stomachs though because there is milk powder in formula.

Answer

I give my son proper milk as part of his breakfast and I offer him a sip in a sippy cup if he wants it.
