Switching to cows milk advice please

[Lily189]

Hi everyone ftm mum I have a son whose 11 months hes currently taking coe and gate follow on milk

He takes cows milk in his porridge and cereal
I was just wanting to know at what age did you all change your babies to cows milk and how did you do it gradually

All advice would be great tia

From 12 months it’s ok to switch. Cows milk is so much cheaper and convenient so I don’t see the point of staying on formula. Some babies will be happy to swap straight over. Others, like my DD, will be more fussy. She usually had 7 ounces before bed so we made a 5oz bottle, then topped up with 2oz cows milk, then increased the ratio over a couple of weeks. Then once she was happy with the cows milk we swapped from a bottle to a sippy cup. I think she lost interest in the bedtime milk altogether at about 16 months.

We've introduced it gradually mixed with formula but just started giving her a cup of milk in a munchkin trainer cup and she's taken well to that. She's on 3 bottles a day morning lunch and bed so I'm going to swap the morning and lunch for a cup of milk then keep bedtime a bottle for now. My DD didn't seem to mind the swap at all.

We let the formula run out then swapped to cows milk. Dont overthink it.
