Hi Ladies,

I want to start introducing cows milk in a months time but how do i do it?

Do i just swap the formula bottle with cows milk one in morning and one of night.

Do i warm it up? or give it cold.

Shall i gradually introduce it like cows in morning then formula at night and when his got use to it switch both?

Also ladies is it the same oz's that i give him?

Thanks

I think we waited till we only had a bit of formula left then gave her cows milk in the day (slightly warmed) then once formula ran out a few days later gave cows milk all the time.

I gave her the same amount as i would formula. I don't really know if thats what you're 'supposed' to do, Immi just loves milk so she drank it all.

I just swapped straight over to cows milk when the box of formula ran out and he was fine with it, didn't seem to notice! I warm it up slightly too and he has about 8oz both morning and night xxx

Lovely thank you girls just straight forward then.

I started to give callum a bottle of cows milk for his nap and formula for evennig bottle at around 10months then frm 12months went straight on to it ful term with no problems. Didnt warm it just gave it to him how itis just like a formula bottle same amount and that xx

we did a straight swap, i just fill the bottle up to the top, i heat it for 20 secs just to take the chill off it, i still give him some toddler milk to give him the extra iron etc as he is not a good eater
hope this helps xx

I have two experiences of moving to cows milk. With Thomas I just swapped straight over one night and he took it fine and still does to this day. Madam Hannah however was a little more difficult. She had cows milk in her cereal from 6 months but when I swapped her bottles over she went mad and kept spitting it out, wouldn't entertain it. So with her I had to introduce it an oz at a time. She has an 8oz bottle morning and night and i started with 7oz formula-1oz cows and then day two was 6oz formula-2 oz cows etc etc and she got used to it gradually. She's fine with full cows milk now

Tyler doesn't like cows milk so I still give him formula but I think im going to try and wean him onto cows milk slowly by mixing his normal 6oz formula with an ounce or two of cows milk gradually.

Thank you ladies, i think i will try him with cows milk in the morning then and formula on evening and gradually change both. I think i will warm it up too coz he still loves a nice warm bot bot
