Transitioning from breastmilk?

csweet311

DD is now 10 months and has now become EBF since I lost my job 5 weeks ago.She's only had 1 bottle in that time period (I was only gone for an hour and a half) and did not really take it very well.While I was working she used to take the bottle but after introducing solids (6months) she decreased her intake.The last few months of working she was down to 5-9 oz per day.Pedi said it was since she still nursed all through the night.

Anyhow,I was thinking of transitioning to Engagrow at the 1 year mark instead of cow's milk.But how?!?! She does great with H20 in the sippy cup during meals but won't drink juice.I've tried to give it to her over a course of  a few days then stop and then again a few weeks later.Still no interest.So I know the milk transition will be harder.Any suggestions?

My DD gets bottles of BM at daycare and does fine with them.  As we're transitioning to cow's milk, I'm giving it to her in a straw sippy cup - she won't take a "regular" sippy and I'd like to stop the bottles if at all possible (more parts to wash, lol).  Maybe try that?  I've also found that if I warm it up a little so it's not right out of the fridge she takes it better.  Good luck!
