Baby is 11.5 months old and im running out of formula, can I start to gradually introduce cows milk?

I did without adverse effects. Although I'd moved continents, couldn't get any more shipped over in time and didn't think it worthwhile changing formulas for the sake of a few weeks. (Baby was over 95th percentile throughout and otherwise thriving.)

Curious what is preventing you getting more though, as I would have done if available.

Yes fine imo… i have done this previously and will do again!

We went from bm to cows milk during the day at this point, as I went back to work.
He was a really good eater, and still got bm morning and evening tho.

Yes, fine. Are they eating other dairy like yoghurt, cheese etc?

I gave cows milk much earlier. They were eating solids

I could get more, but a fresh tub of formula now will last me well after he is 1 so thinking I'll start to mix my current tub with cows milk to start the transition
