I have older children and just cant really remember how I transitioned from bottles to food. How much formula does your baby take at a time now and how often? How much/how often does he/she eat table food? Are you feeding the same food you eat or stage 3/toddler food? Also, does your baby take a sippy cup? Do you put juice or milk/formula in it?

i feed my son 3 times a day.. just like us.
he typically eats whatever it is we have. the odd time i'll give him a jar if we are in a rush, but hardly ever and he really doesnt like them too much.
as for formula. he doesnt drink so much.
i still give it at his morning/night feeds and twice throughout the day, but normally just drinks b/ 2-3 at each of those feedings.. other than morning, its typically b/ 4-6.
i think he just prefers food.
i'm also not sure when i should stop giving him formula ? i do give my baby a sippy cup, but he only drinks water.. i think juice is just filling for nothing.

My daughter generally eats 2-3 meals a day, when we eat. Plus a snack sometimes. A combo of table food and baby food. She takes a sippy, but I usually just put water in it. Juice on rare occasions. I still nurse on demand and she typically gets 1-2 6oz bottles of formula as well.

my daughter eats whatever we eat unless its something spicy she eats it. we do have a few gerber toddler meals for times when she's the only one eating but after having real food she doesn't like them very much & she refuses stage 3/pureed foods. As for milk I nurse 2 or 3 times a day but I have let her try whole milk a few times to see how she handled it.
