Changing from Formula to full fat cows milk after 1yrs old?

I personally didn't use the follow on milk with my boy for that exact reason... At about 13/14 months I gradually transitioned my little boy to full fat cow's milk. I started with the morning bottle for a few days and then when he seemed alright with the switch then the other bottles as soon as the tub of formula was done

I switched nighttime bottle first at 12mo then used up the box and switched morning bottle.

Follow on milk is exactly that a ploy . I would slowly transition over to full fat milk start ½ formula and ½ full fat mix and then slowly reduce the oz.

They should be just fine if you read ingredients of follow on milk their is barely an differences in stage 1 and follow on . At 1 years old they should be taking in enough nutrients from food and the top up of full fat milk is just that a good health top up for those bones etc x

I use big milk for my lb. When changing I did it over a week. He had 6oz so did 5 formula and 1 big milk for couple days then 4 and 2 and so on until only on milk. It worked well for us xx

thanks so much I’m going to take your advice, also the cheek of follow-on milk being £12/£14 when full fat cows milk is around £1.50 per litre & it does the exact same thing! I feel bad for parents whom are spending all that money on follow-on milk it’s nearly 7x’s the amount of cows milk! #cheekyripoff

Thanks x

Thanks to all you ladies I will do exactly that, mix the formula & Cows milk together then slowly reduce until it’s all cows milk. Thanks so much, can’t believe how much of a rip off Follow-on milk is! Glad I asked x

I just switched to full fat milk after we ran out of formula. My sons adapted very well with it

Yeah neither with my son 😂 he just guzzled it like it was his formula

You'll probably find your twins don't even need you to titrate the formula/cows milk ratio, cows milk tastes way nicer than formula so they'll probably accept it pretty quickly/well!

Your hv is correct :) we did half and half for a week then purely cows milk. Much cheaper. Follow milk is invented by formula companies to make money as they are legally allowed to advertise it.
Plus vitamins now as formula is fortified. X

We started our boy on follow on formula at 6 months. Got told not to bother with it but we had some in house so thought we would try it. His stools had become hard and he was being sick 3 hrs after feeding. Going on to the follow on was best thing we ever did , his stools were much better and stopped being sick. He turned one July 14th. We started off 5oz formula, 2oz cow's milk. Then 4oz formula and 3oz cow's milk. Then again less formula. He's now on full cow's milk. Some people just put them straight on to it. But I did half and half until fully cow's milk incase was bit rich for his tummy xx

I agree straight to milk! Follow-on milk (or toddler formula as it’s called in US) is definitely to make more money. Formula companies are just preying on mom insecurities and desires to do the best for their babies. There’s other milk alternatives too!
