Question about switching to cow's milk

[NimpyWindowmash]

My baby is now over 1 yr old and so I am making the switch to cow's milk. She already has cow's milk with her morning cereal and in cooking, I just mean for her drinks of milk, morning and night. I am doing the switchover by giving her the formula that she is used to, mixed with full fat cow's milk, about half and half at the moment. This seems to be working fine, and she hasn't objected. Soon enough hopefully she will be having 100% cow's milk.

But was speaking to health visitor today at her 1 year health check who said this was dangerous and to never mix the two drinks. When I pressed her for a reason, she said it was something to do with the nutritional content, but couldn't elaborate. Just to be clear, I am not mixing the powder with cow's milk, but mixing made up formula with cow's milk. Can anyone think of any reason why this would be a bad idea, or dangerous?

I dont think it is bad/dangerous but I didnt have to do it as both of mine never seemed to notice the difference. I did it a feed at a time i.e. gave the morning feed as cows milk and the bedtime one as formula and when they were ok with that I swapped the bedtime feed to cows milk too.

What on earth??! Your health visitor is talking compete claptrap, as they often do. There is no reason to not mix the two, although you could just try giving cow's milk to her neat and if she accepts it, then much less hassle (and cost) for you!
