Introducing cow's milk

I know it's been discussed before, but I can't seem to find the thread right now. 

I'd like to introduce cow's milk and am wondering how you all have been doing it.

I offer it to him at meal times in a "real" cup with handles and a lid that pushes down when his lips touch it and so far he seems to be doing okay. He is always surprised though when milk gets in his mouth and I don't know if it's because of the taste or because it's cold. He still drinks water at meal times and throughout the day, too. I also still nurse him every 2-3 hours. Currently he takes about 1 oz of cow's milk per day. 

Should I try to replace a nursing session with milk? Do I offer it in a bottle then, so he realizes it's a meal? What do you do?

    I haven't replaced any BF with cows milk but I do give him between 36 oz a day. Usually just at night though. When I gave it to him in his sippy he would get it in his mouth and then spit it right back out. He liked it though so I think it was just because it was too cold. So I started warming it and giving it to him in a bottle just so he can get used to it a little more before we start cutting out BFing.

    LOL! I was amazed!

     I am tempted to try it in the bottle, too. Our pedi wants us off bottles by 12 months though, so I figured I'd just offer it in a cup right away to avoid the bottle weaning. Hmmm.
