cows milk and 10 month old baby

DD is now 10 months weaning all going really well, but she is still EBF at her insistance.
I am going back to work in 2 months and am trying to get her weaned off the boobage, but it's proving difficult to say the least!
She really doesn't like formula milk (and having tasted it - I can't blame her) as well as being very reluctant to drink from a bottle.
As she's now 10 months am I ok to go straight onto full fat cows milk?

maybe wait a little while - any chance you can carry on expressing for a month or so, or perhaps mix ebm with cows milk to get her used to it?

sorry, that was a bit abrupt

how's her eating?

I haven't expressed any milk in ages as she won't drink more than an ounce at a time.She likes it straight from the source
She is a brilliant eater -Today she's had raisin porridge and banana for breakfast, scrambled eggs for lunch and pasta bolognaise for tea along with fruit and half a hot cross bun for snacks. Getting her to drink is a whole other story though. She takes the fluid into her mouth but then dribbles it out and laughs. I know she can drink properly,as she'll do it every few mouthfuls, but I'm sure she's just enjoying making life difficult

Sounds like she's a brilliant eater - my DS isn't that good at 25 months!

It won't hurt to stick with the BM for a little while longer, but sounds like she's getting plenty of vitamins from food!
