At what age did you start introducing WCM?

izziebee · October 2013

Just wondering when everyone started introducing WCM?
I think with DS1 I started at 11months which DS2 will be on Saturday.
I'm so anxious to be done with formula!

thanks!

11-1/2 months. Dd pretty much decided on her own. No bottles and no formula. She was easy.

She gets some milk, but is still on Formula at 13 and a half months. She will stay on formula until 18 months at the earliest, but I am going for two. She gets it in a straw cup.

We started to transition from formula to WCM (mixing the 2 together, gradually decreasing amount of formula and increasing amount of WCM) around 11.5 months. We also never put any WCM in a bottle- only a sippy. Some do the formula to WCM transition first then tackle bottle to sippy, we killed 2 birds with one stone. No right or wrong way

Around 12 months.

9 months, but that wasn't as a replacement for formula. Here it is recommended to start introducing milk at 9 months. So we started that in a sippy at meals. She obviously didn't drink much at that point. I started doing milk/formula bottles at about 10 1/2 months and by 11 1/2 months she was on 100% milk.

DS2 will be one tomorrow and he's been drinking milk for about 3 weeks now. He just recently dropped his mid-day bottle of formula so I'm assuming he will drop another one soon. He drinks milk at all meals and half a sippy cup at mid-day snack.
