WCM - another Q

ns1

The previous post got me to thinking...I plan on switching DD from breastmilk to WCM except I'll nurse in the morning and at night for a while at least when DD gets to 1 year (starting a little before probably).  

When you switch to WCM, do you typically replace all the oz. LO gets of breastmilk / formula to WCM?

No. I think the max oz of WCM they should get in one day is 16oz. 

I introduced it about 1.5m ago. I give him some with lunch and dinner; he usually drinks 2-4oz at each meal.

I will be weaning my daytime sessions starting this week and instead of nursing, I'll offer DS some water or milk with a snack (fruit, yogurt, cheese, etc) to replace the BM.  

HTH.

we are swtiching now and have started with 2oz of WCM with 6oz of formula with each bottle, so far he's liking it and no issues, after 2 weeks we'll so another 2 oz and so on until he's switched completely and then I believe they drink only abour 16oz of wcm a day as opposed to their normal amount of formula intake

WCM isn't supposed to replace formula after a year, solids are.  I think the cut is 16oz.
