Hi ladies,
My baby is just over 1 and I've gradually being substituting formula with cows milk. But over the last few days she's really not been interested in her milk at 7pm at all, and tonight she only drank a couple of ounces of cows milk. Has this happened to anyone else, and do you think it's because she doesn't need it any more at night? I'm worried she's going to wake up hungry!
Thank you!

Thanks for your reply! It's such a confusing time isn't it! I'm kind of hoping that they naturally don't need as much milk by now, as I suppose we wouldn't want a big meal, then another only a couple of hours later... I'm really hoping she sleeps through as I've got used to sleep again!
Maybe by this age milk is more a comfort than a need - I hope so!! X

Mine slept through fine when swapping to cow's milk. Though he did end up increasing the amount he drank as he absolutely loved it! He generally left a couple of oz formula but the cows milk was drained.

I wish my DD would drain her bottle - she's totally refused it for the last three nights... I'm thinking it might be teeth...

How is she doing now alice? Is she refusing her bottles still and is she waking?

As for the cow's milk she should be having 300mls so as long as she is eating fine and getting that amount she should be fine [hsmile].
