Toddlers: 12 - 24 Months

What worked for you ladies?

With making the switch to cow's milk? Cold turkey? Mix it with formula?

 

TIA!

Re: What worked for you ladies?

  • I think I mixed it with formula and over the course of a week added more and more cows milk and less formula. The transition was super easy and non eventful for us.

  • I did 2 oz of milk the rest forumla and every couple days I increased the amount of milk and decreased the amount of formula.
  • I did what his pedi advised, and we mixed. 
    We started at 11 months, and by 12 months he was on 100% milk.
    We used this process:
     
    Week 1: 75% formula / 25% milk
    Week 2: 50% formula / 50% milk
    Week 3: 25% formula / 75% milk
    Week 4: 100% milk

  • We went from soy formula to soy milk but its the same concept. We gradually reduced the amount of formula and increased the amount of milk. For example...week one- one ounce milk, 5 ounces formula; week two- two ounces milk, 4 ounces formula, etc. We had no problems.

  • We tried cold turkey, but DD didn't like it (but we BF).  So, each week, I upped the percentage of milk by about 25% until she was completely on milk.

  • Tried cold turkey and he would not drink it so we did 1/2 and 1/2 for about 2 weeks and then went full cow's milk and he was fine

  • As some of other posts have said, we gradually mixed the milk in with his formula over a week or two. It went really well.

  • We switched cold turkey, and DS just went with it.

  • I mixed  it with the formual.  He was on only milk within a week or so.
  • Cold turkey. DD loves her milk!
  • we're still figuring it out, but it looks like we're going cold turkey. DD won't drink formula out of a cup and our doctor told us to not put milk in a bottle.
