Hello ladies we officially had Violets first birthday yesterday (not an official April baby but still 🫣) and I'm extremely confused on how to swap from formula to cows milk like to I just do a straight swap to cows milks or gradual? And do I still use bottles or do I switch to cups now? I'm very confused and don't want to do things wrong 😅 (enjoy the pic of the cheeky birthday girl)

Hey 👋🏻
With my 1st little one. He was on 8oz bottles so I did 7oz formula 1oz cows the the day after 6oz formula 2oz cows and so forth until it was all cows milk.
I intend to do the same with 2nd baby is a few days times. Just he’s will be dairy alternative xx

PS. Happy birthday 🎈 🎂

Hiya I’m getting rid of bottles completely (bad for their teeth etc) straight swap to cup she has cows milk in weetabix and stuff so I know she will be fine with it. However, you’ve got to do what works best for you. Hope she had a lovely Birthday xx

My mate did part formula part cows.
I spoke to my mum about it and she said do a straight swap?
Nannas bought her a new cup for her birthday so my aim is to use this with cows but it’s just an aim not a plan.

I did a straight swap to cows milk with my first. Didn’t have any issues. She had already been having cows milk in her cereal. I’ll do the same with my April baby.

jumping on here - what cereal is good please? Not done this yet

I just give him weetabix in cold cows milk for now. He has it most mornings and is pretty happy with it.

ohhh yes - that’s what I’ve given 😂

I did a straight swap with my first, it was fine for her

Thank you ladies 😊 we've been mixing a bit of cows milk with her food for a few months now, this morning I just did a normal formula bottle 😅 so tonight we're doing a cows milk bottle but if that doesn't go well I'll do the gradual introduction 😊 the plan is to get her used to the milk (so about 3/4days) then cut from bottles to cups
