She will be one next week, but i have no idea what I do In regards to formula?
She's on pepti due to cows milk allergy but last time I spoke to the dietitian, I was told not to give her alpro milk just to drink (this was at 10.5 months)
Do I just one day stop giving her formula and replace it with soya milk or do I drop one formula and replace it with soya to ease her in? (She's currently on 3 8oz bottles a day of formula)
Sorry if this seems a stupid question, she's my first and I'm just a little worried ill do something wrong.

I feel same I haven't a clue and my little girl is already 1 I just don't know what to do either x

I just swapped with my lad when he run out of formula a couple of weeks before he was one and he was fine with it. If you'd prefer you could just try changing one bottle a day for now and slowly change over x

My son's nearly 14 months and he refuses to drink cow's milk so he is on toddler formula milk

My daughter was quite ill when I put her on cows milk, we ended up on almond milk, we swapped it out oz for oz, increasing every few days. Took about 2 weeks. Health visitor then told me to try again with cows milk, which I did, again really sick, so we went back to almond milk and never had a problem xx

There’s no hurry when they turn one but it is recommended. It’s up to your little one how they get on with it really, if they like it go for it or you may hVe to do it more gradually x

We basically have to wean her before she's one. Because we can't afford formula. So we use WIC. Once she hits one, WIC won't pay for it. I will probably start at 11 months slowly with dropping formula and whole milk. So by the time shes one, she will be in whole milk

It's not a stupid question at all😊That's the great thing about this app being able to ask questions and share ideas. The week my son turned 1, i started by replacing his lunchtime bottle with cows milk in a sippy cup, and kept the formula feeds to morning and bedtime in his baby bottle. Then a few days later I swapped the morning formula with cows milk, until finally he was only drinking cows milk in sippy bottle. By the thrird week he had dully transitioned and didn't miss the formula or baby bottles. All the best with it.xx

I just stopped after the Tub ran out when she turned one. W head been introducing one cup of regular milk at lunch time from 11.5 months. If I’m honest I didn’t notice any difference and she’s been grand.
