How to get 17 month old with CMA off special formulae at night

[WeeG123]

Hi all,

Looking for some advice on how to get my 17-month-old with CMA off his special formula bottle at nighttime? We’ve tried coconut milk etc. warmed
up but he doesn’t take it. We still feel we need to give him something at night as it comforts him and helps him settle to sleep. He is a great sleeper and would like this continue. Bedtime is the only time he takes a formula bottle. He’s off it completely during the day and takes coconut milk in his Weetabix etc.

Any advice would be appreciated

Thank you.

First of all, stop giving him it in a bottle! Give him a cup of his warm milk, and gradually over time combine the formula with a small amount of coconut milk, gradually increasing the coconut and decreasing the formula until its all coconut.
Again, drop the bottle.

Have you tried transitioning him slowly? We did 10ml milk and rest formula for a week, then 20ml milk and the rest formula, very gradually, until it was all milk. Personally, I wouldn’t stress about the bottle. Conquer one change at a time.

Thank you alll for the advice. It honestly didn’t cross my mind to drip feed in the coconut milk. My tired brain isn’t working
