What to do?

[honeyy123]

Mums of mums net im in a predicament here this is how much formula I have left for my baby boy he is turning 1 on Saturday he has 9ounces of milk 2/3 bottles a day that is not gonna last until Saturday so do I buy him another tub or put him on cows milk after that's gone it's all scary to me many thanks for any advice on what you did with your baby on transitioning them to cows milk thankyouuu

Either will be absolutely fine, a few days here or there makes no difference at all.

I would probably buy another tub because he may not like cows milk, in which case one tactic is to mix milk into the formula, gradually changing up the ratio till it's all cows milk and no formula.

So day 1 6oz formula 1 oz milk
Day 2 5oz formula, 2 oz milk
Day 3 4oz formula, 3 oz milk and so on.

Hi thankyou for your advice! :) I've been doing a lot of research abit not letting my intrusive thought getting to me I like the ide of slowly weaning him off it with the ready of that formula so like you had mapped it out there with for a 7 ounce bottle please could you do the ratios for a 9 ounce bottle sorry if that could of been really easy to work out I'm just a little confused and really rubbish at maths thankyou lol😂

Day 1 - make up an 8oz bottle, add 1 oz milk
Day 2 - make up a 7oz bottle, add 2oz milk
Day 3 - make up a 6oz bottle, add 3 oz milk
Day 4 - make up a 5oz bottle, add 4 oz milk
Day 5 - make up a 4oz bottle, add 5 oz milk
Day 6 - make up a 3oz bottle, add 6 oz milk
Day 7 - make up a 2oz bottle, add 7 oz milk
Day 7 - make up a 1 oz bottle, add 8 oz milk

He might however really like the new milk, so try him with a small bit in a bottle or even better in a cup and see how it goes. If he doesn't like it then you can try mixing it with the formula as above.

Thank you so much for your help and reassurance and for taking your time to do that for me means a lot your a kind person :)

You need to do it gradually anyway. So yes the PP suggestion works perfectly.
