Moving from formula milk to cow's milk

3 replies

My DD is 13 mo. She has 2 milk drinks per day, and currently, at the moment, I am still using formula, as she does not like cow's milk, and ended up heaving last time I tried to persuade her to drink some (a couple of weeks ago). After some perseverance, (basically, bribing her with coco pops), I have persuaded her to have cow's milk on her cereal, although once the cereal has gone, she does not want to drink any milk left in the bowl.

My question is:

  1. Should I leave my DD on formula for a few more weeks/months rather than continue to try to get her to drink cow's milk? Is it better that she has formula rather than no milk?
  2. Is it dangerous to mix formula with ordinary milk?
  3. At what age can I stop worrying about giving her milk altogether?

Thanks

just try introducing a small amount of cows milk in her bottle or cup... have you not been using it in food and cooking before now?

it is not dangerous to mix formula and cows milk

all children should have some milk, at this age they should still have a pint a day, she can have cheese and yoghurt too as a way of getting calcium .
