Babies: 9 - 12 Months

Transition to whole milk going terribly!!!

I've tried whole milk, 2%, goat milk even. All of these in a bottle, sippy, and plain cup.  Spits it out immediately.  He's almost a year. I WANT to be done breastfeeding, but I feel like if I stop, then he's getting no milk at all and I obviously don't want that.  Everyone I've talked to says their kid had no problem accepting whole milk, but not many people I know breastfed this long either.  I've been trying different combinations for 2 weeks now. Any suggestions? I'm so frustrated.

  • Are you giving the milk cold? If you're BF, baby is used to warm milk.

  • have you done half bm and half milk?
  • I am trying to transition/supplement with formula, because I am afraid of what will happen to my supply because I am pregnant.

    I started DC with 2oz.full formula for his middle of the night feeding, and he cried when he tasted it, and threw the bottle! Taught me to slowly introduce formula, started with 1oz, now we are doing 2oz.

    I have to do this again with whole milk, ugh.

    But yeah, slowly incorporate it, maybe like pp, half BM, half whole milk? That means you have to pump though.?
