One year old won't drink cows milk, should I stick with formula?

Like other babies I thought DD2 could stop having formula at 12 months and move to nice, easily available, cows milk. However DD2 ain't interested and just doesn't drink if I offer cows milk.

Does this matter at 13 months? She is still breastfed first thing and just has one bottle at bedtime. Should I let her drop the evening bottle or return to formula so she drinks?

You can switch her over to milk gradually, if you want to carry on with the evening bottle. Start with maybe 2/3rds formula, 1/3 milk, and gradually reduce the amount of formula.

If she BFs every morning, and has cheese or yogurt or whatever, she might be fine without a bottle at all.
