13 month weaning from formula onto cows milk has diarrohea

Hi, I'm weaning my ds from formula to cows milk. He's 13months. I started by mixing some cows milk in with his formula which was no problem and since this Sunday he's been 100% cows milk. He's now having terrbile explosive diarrhoea. He doesn't seem ill, off his food or anything but just 4 or so times a day these awful poos that leak everywhere. He's been fine with yoghurts, cows milk in his breakfast porridge etc for the past 6 months. Could it just be the change in his digestive system or is it an intolerance? I can't think it's an intolerance as he's been having dairy in his food no problem. Did anyone else fine that when they weaned onto cows milk their child had diarrhoea? We're going on holiday on Saturday so I'm a bit concerned as to what to do... whether to sit it out and see if he settles down or something else? Any advice would be appreciated.
;)

I know its a bit late but bumping for you as I have a an 11 month DS who will be on cows milk in a few weeks. Am wondering if it can cause problems.

I cant help, sorry, as ds has just gone onto cows milk with no problems at 12 months. I have heard it can cause runny nappies but ds never suffered that way. Could your lo have a bug instead? DS had a bug a few weeks ago but still had an appetite for food even though it came out as fast as it went in
