Anyone still giving their baby formula?

Question

How did you make the switch to regular milk? I personally do not drink regular milk. Does it make a difference if it’s cow, goat or a plant based milk?

Answer

My daughter still has a bottle of formula before bed (anywhere from 5-8oz depending on how much food she’s eaten at dinner) and a breastfeed first thing on a morning but that’s she only milk she has. I try make food for her that has added dairy and once our formula supply starts to run low I’ll start mixing it with cows milk to try transitioning, but I don’t see the rush yet

Answer

Honestly my son is still having a hard time transitioning so we’re doing half formula half cows milk ! So if he’s drinking 6 ounces we do 3 & 3 dr recommend for us to do it like that

Answer

My son still has a bottle of formula at night time. His other bottles I gradually replaced 2oz of formula with whole milk until it was all milk. Some days he’s a big milk drinker, other days he’s not. I’ve always been told to give whole cow’s milk if they tolerate it because the fats in it are good for brain development.

Answer

My daughter will NOT drink any type of milk. We have tried to slowly put small amounts in with her formula and she can notice and she gets very upset and won't drink it. After talking to the dr she agreed to continue formula for a couple more months and see where we're at then.

Answer

We are on our last can 1/2 way through. I just couldn't let it go to waste. It's a specific brand so not much use for it at a shelter or donation place.

Answer

We do some formula at night because he wakes up so hungry and won’t drink milk cold from the fridge - but will drink lukewarm formula made from water that’s been sitting on the counter. 
Warming up the milk was the biggest help in getting him to make the daytime switch.

Answer

I started to introduce milk around 11.5 months slowly. She was only drinking about 18-20 0z of formula a day by then anyways so just did like 2 oz formula and 2 oz whole milk in bottle. She switched over to whole milk at 12 months with no problem. I will say her poop is a lot lighter now though but doctor says that is normal.
