Drinking milk

you mix the milk and formula. What I did was put the water and the formula and then fill the rest with milk. Then you can heat it (if you're baby still wants it warm) or give it to them after you shake it all up.

We transitioned about 2 weeks before Kohl's first bday. I gave one milk bottle a day.Now we are only using milk and he is doing fine. We use whole milk-it is very important to use whole milk for babies as the fat in whole milk is VERY important for brain development.

Do you actually combine the formula with the milk or make 2 separate bottles?

My ped had us transition my ds at 9 mos. He gets no more than 24 ozs of milk in a 24 hr period. I make sure I crush up half of a childrens chewable vitamin twice a week and he is just fine.

You might check with your Dr. Ours told us that as long as her diet was well balanced, Alyssa could do 2% instead of whole milk. They are "changing" what they recommend because Americans have so much added fat/calories other places. We did mix with formula, adding more and more milk, then ran out of formula. Alyssa took to it really well! Weaning from a bottle to sippy cup is next here!

We started on the day she turned 11 months adding 2 oz of milk to her formula and would do so each week until we got up to 8. I also eliminated the bottle at the same time so I would replace a bottle feeding with a cup instead. Now we're bottle and formula free.

We gave our little girl milk about a week before she turned one. It was kind of funny, she would take a couple really big swigs, then look at her bottle like what is that. Then drink the rest.

I waited till my kids were over a year old. My youngest Emma just turn 1 and I tried it out the other day, and she liked it. Just try a little at a time just to see.

My doctor said once she's a year you can just switch over completely or gradually, I'm planning on just giving her milk instead of formula on her birthday

our doctor told us to finish off any remaining formula we have and to switch to whole milk. We've been our son little drinks of whole milk since he was 11 mths

Health vistors advised not to give milk until they are 1yr and to be still sterilsing the bottle until then as well, can be used to make meals from 6months

I am starting with about 4 to 6 ounces a day (in a cup) just like I did with my other two kids. He loves milk! Although he doesn't seem to like it in a bottle so that will be another bridge to cross.
