I’m in the uk and you swap to cows milk when they turn 1. You still need to give milk. Not sure how it differs in America xx

I was under the instructions of my child’s doctor. About 1 years old. She said to do 50% whole milk and 50 % formula in the milk bottle and decrease the amounts of formula each week by 25% until it’s at 0 so the baby gets used to the taste. He has about 3 meals. Sometimes he will have his milk and not much breakfast but we try. Sometimes with the meals in particular when we feed him pasta. We will give him a bottle of milk. Then give him pasta and after a few bites we will give him some water in between.

We stopped bottles and formula at 11.5 months, cold turkey.
We offer 7oz of cows milk in a straw cup twice a day. If they dont drink it, its fine as they have plenty of other dairy and its just a drink now....not food

I tried giving my daughter cows milk and she would not drink it. She still doesn't (she's almost 3) doctor said to give her dairy in other ways, like yogurt, ice cream, cheese, butter and when she has oatmeal I LOAD it up with cream. So, if they don't take to cows milk, don't sweat it. There are other options

you can completely stop at 12 months if substituting with other dairy like mentioned. cow milk, yogurt, cheese. i’ve been trying to build a routine of idk what to make her or don’t have any solids i try to give a squeeze pouch and i since my lo is 9 months i give milk after she finishes meals. i aim for 3 a day and im trying to incorporate snacks and get her on a milk routine so she knows milk is only given at whatever times. hope this helps xx

We started at 13 months to transition away from formula by adding milk to it in increasing qualities until the bottle was all milk. She's been fully off formula since 14.5 months.

Started straight away when my daughter was 1 drinking only cows milk and food on top X
