After Formula?

My LO just turned 1 & has been drinking Nutramigen because of a milk allergy. My pediatrician gave us the green light to stop formula but is not ready for us to go straight onto regular milk so she suggested soy, rice or almond milk. I went ahead and bought unsweetened almond milk at trader joes but she hates it & won't drink it. I need suggestions if any of you have experienced something similar & what you gave your little ones before bed?

Thanks!

    I kept my son on formula until about 18 months and then switched him to coconut/hemp milk. He didn't like it either so we did a gradual transition... one night he'd get 7 oz of formula, 1 oz of hemp/coconut milk and then do that for a few days. Then 6oz formula and 2 oz of hemp/coconut for a few days. So on until you're 100% the new milk. It took us about 2 weeks but my kid LOVED formula so I think it took a little longer for that reason.

    Yes, I agree with introducing it slowly and doing a few bottles with both milk and formula first. If she still refuses it, you may need to try different types or brands of milk before you find a "hit".
