Introducing whole milk

alphaphi98

My DD is 11 months old, and someone recommended introducing whole milk by adding a little bit to their bottle. I've been EPing this whole time and my LO has never had formula. She drinks 5 oz bottles four times a day, along with solids 3 times a day. I've been putting 1 oz of cow's milk and putting 4 oz of BM in her bottles. My friend said to do this for one week, and if she does fine, then increase the cow's milk by 1 oz each week. It's been a couple days now and she seems to be doing fine. Except she's way more gassy! Her poop is pretty much the same.  

Anyone else introducing whole cow's milk to their LO? How's it going?

I was giving it in a sippy for a bit (not mixed) and he wasn't too interested so I stopped. He has finally been drinking water consistently in the sippy so tomorrow I'm going to start offering whole milk again. I don't pump so he just gets milk from nursing right now (kid never took a bottle easily). I am going away overnight on Saturday so I'm hoping when I come home he's a happy milk drinker so he won't be looking for me anymore!

I should also add the pedi told me with DS1 not to even worry about mixing it so I just gave straight milk with DS1 too and he did great with it.
