Whole milk vs formula?

Question

Posting anonymously because I'm nervous I'll get hate 🥺
So my little guy has always been a fantastic eater. Did great with his bottles and then when we started purées, loved everything we gave him. Now that he's 10.5 months he's almost completely off purées and on to solids because he loves feeding himself and still loves every food we've given him. 
The thing is because he loves his real food so much, he's started to have an aversion to his formula. He'll only drink like half of his bottle, and ends up spitting up a lot of it. Even though it's not recommended, we started switching half of his bottles over to whole milk (so 1-2 bottles of formula/day and 1-2 bottles of whole milk) and he loves it. Drinks it right down and doesn't spit anything up. 
Anyone else started a little milk yet?

Answer

I would say you’re doing just fine. I know many who have done that. We have a dairy allergy here, so no milk for us. But! Trust your gut and go with what you think is best for your baby :)

Answer

Totally fine!! My baby wouldn’t drink anything but water starting at 7 months - little turd. Doctor said it was just fine and we could start slowly introducing whole milk at 10 months

Answer

Hopefully you are not too worried about the “hate” here! The October 2019 moms are a uniquely supportive group. I don’t know anything about introducing cow’s milk but sounds like others do. ♥️ Wishing you and baby luck with it.

Answer

My daughters pediatrician actually recommended we start her on whole milk with meals since she's almost one and is eating table food 🤷‍♀️

Answer

Around 10 1/2 months I let my breastfed baby try whole milk and she loved it. And drank a few ounces a day. They say most babes are ready for whole milk between 10-12 months but because there is no one size fits all guide for babies they simply say 12 months. As long as he doesn’t seem to have any issue digesting it all should be fine! 💕💕

Answer

I’ve been considering for this exact reason! Except baby was never a huge fan of purées so now I just use all the purée I made as a spread for his teething crackers! He just loves to feed himself! But the only bottle he finishes now is his first morning bottle. After that, he gets about halfway done and starts to get real pissy if we try to get him to finish it. But if we put him in his high hair, he will eat and eat and eat anything we put in front of him
