Cows milk nearly 12 months

My daughter will be 1on 2nd August. I was planning on putting her straight onto full fat cows milk on her birthday but I've ran out of formula n reluctant to buy another tin because of wasting most of it. Would it be safe or ok to move her onto cows milk now?

For the sake of three days I wouldn't worry BUT that's assuming the a) she takes it and b) there are no problems ( there's a huge difference between coping with a bit on cereal and in cooking than drinking a whole bottle/cup of it)

I'd get a couple of cartons in to be honest and try the cows milk drink in the day and have formula at bedtime just in case. If she's fine then you can switch then

She's almost one so why not. However I'd test her on some first as it is harder to digest than formula and she might not react well or like it.

Four days isn't a big deal. She'll be fine on cow's milk. She might not be so keen on the taste though.

You don't know she'll be fine. Formula is quite far removed from cows milk when you see how processed it is. So worth checking as if she struggles (unlikely but possible) you could end up with issues like sleep on your hands.
