  We went straight to cows milk, and didnt mix/transition at all.  The only side effect I noticed was an increase in gas for a while

  Pedi warned us of that. We saw it when we mixed the formula and milk, too. It was a little looser for about a week after he was just drinking whole milk until his system got used to it.

  Looser and yellow stool(from the fat in the milk).  Gassy too.  Then stools got firm, real firm (constipation).  UGH!

  I mixed whole milk and formula for about 3 weeks so I thought when I switched to 100% whole milk, everything would be fine.  It wasn't.  DD had loose BM's and a LOT of it.  Pedi said to decrease her intake and slowly work back up so I gave 4 oz at a time for a few days, then 6 oz, and now she takes 7 or 8 oz with no problems.

  We switched to cow's milk a week and a half ago, cold turkey.  She poops a lot more than when she was on formula.  She got her first really bad diaper rash too.  I'm hoping the number of poops tapers off as she gets used to it.

  Yes, he definitely started having more BM's every day.  It lasted for about 2 weeks and they did seem to be somewhat looser than normal.
