Cows milk/formula

Hi, my DS is nearly 1 and I'm planning on moving to cows milk from formula.
Being a first time parent i just don't know how? We are out mostly every day! He currently has 5oz formula in the morning 5oz around 2.30pm and 5oz before bed around 7ish. I usually carry a thermos with some warm water and formula in a container which is easy to prepare when we are out, but how would i do the cows milk? If we were out all day will i just keep it in bottles? Should cows milk not stay in fridge at all times? Also how much would i give? Same amount of formula or less?
Thanks Smile

Does he need the 2.30pm one? I'd give a similar amount. I'd take water out during the day rather than milk

If you did take cows milk then put the bottle in a cool bag to keep it chilled

No he doesn't really need it to be honest, he eats very well so i guess he will be fine without it. Even if i just give him 2 bottles of cows milk a day morning and bed time should i give him extra or just stick to 5oz? Thanks for your reply! X

Cow's milk is often available at places like supermarkets, cafes and McDonalds so I'd buy fresh if he fancies some when out and about.
