Transitioning from formula on 1st Birthday

Hi just wondered if anyone had any tips on transitioning from formula. Did you gradually introduce cows milk as a main drink after their birthday or stop formula all together? My daughter will be 1 next month!

Are you going to wrap up a formula bottle and put a bow on it and give it to her as a birthday present?

My dc1 was mixed fed but I vaguely remember we mixed them for a while (like a week) to get her used to the change in taste. They do taste very different.

@Mumoftwo1316 thanks hadn't thought of mixing the 2!

Yes mix for a few days and then just make the change, or I'd just try straight with milk if you've run out of formula (don't buy more just to mix) - cows milk is creamier than formula so they'll probably like it anyway

Thank you x

My twins turned one three weeks ago I started to give them a few ozs of cows milk every other day like two weeks before they turned 1 to see how they got on with it but after a few days they went off the formula milk and have been on cows milk since no problems at all
