LO Turning 1, Transition to Milk
My LO is turning 1 this weekend and I'm not sure the best way to transition from formula to milk. His current food/bottle schedule is:
6 - Wake up, 4 oz bottle
6:30 - Cheerios before heading to daycare
8:30 - Breakfast - 4-6 oz fruit or yogurt, cheerios
8:45 - 4 oz bottle
11:30 - Lunch 4-6 oz veggie, cheese or other small finger food
12 - 4 oz bottle
3 - Snack - 4-5 oz fruit or veggie, cheese or other small finger food
3:30 - 4 oz bottle
6 - Dinner - 6-8 oz veggie/fruit/protein, cheese or other small finger food
7:30 - 8 oz bottle before bed
Any suggestions on how to transition to milk and/or how to transition away from so many bottles? LO used to eat a ton of different foods and lots of texture. For the past two weeks he won't touch any of it...only eats purees. Help!
Re: LO Turning 1, Transition to Milk
I'm a FTM and pretty clueless, but this is what we did.
We eliminated the lunchtime bottle first. Instead she would get a sippy cup with formula.
A couple weeks later we eliminated the late afternoon bottle and gave her a sippy and snacks instead.
Our LO just turned a year old and she has a morning and nightime bottle with 1/2 formula and 1/2 whole milk.
We plan on eliminating the morning bottle this week.
Will you LO take the sippy cup? I know solids are confusing, our LO went through phases of not liking anything...but eventually she went back to eating everything.
