Milk after formula

[cocomama2025]

Hi all. DD is 10 months and is on 3 formula bottles a day.

When she turns 1 we will stop formula.

Is it right to replace those 3 formula bottles with cows milk?

I know eventually the milk overall will go down as food increases (which it is as we were on 4 bottles and now down to 3 letting her go at her own pace).

How do people take cows milk out and about with them?

The idea is the milk consumption will go down as the eating goes up, you would just give the baby milk at home would you really need to take it out and about?

A 1year old doesn't need 3 full bottles of milk. Maybe a cup at breakfast and dinner if they enjoy it.

If you really need to take it out and about then use a insulated bottle- like a chillis but child size.

You really don’t need to be taking milk out and about at that age. Just give it at home. Alternatively you can buy UHT cartons with a drinking straw, but really I think this is unnecessary. I think my DD had a cup in the morning at that age and one before bed and this then dropped to one before bed not long after turning one.

As others have said she doesn't need 3 bottles even at 10 months, she definitely won't need them at 12 months

I would cut out the first bottle this weekend.

The recommended amount of formula at this age if they are FF is 450 mls a day or 15 floz dropping down to 300 mls of Full Fat or Semi Skimmed at 12 months.

By 12 months she'll likely just have 2 milk feeds so you won't need to take milk out with you.
