Formula to milk transition
Hiya girls trying to swap my daughter from formula to cows milk and she’s the fussiest kid. I need new ways of trying to introduce it.
-she has it in her porridge
-in her cereals
-in foods as much as possible
But giving it to drink just doesn’t happen

Maybe try it as a milkshake/smoothie?
If she’s over 1 and she’s not into it, as long as she’s having 2 or more dairy products (yoghurt, cheese etc) a day she doesn’t actually need milk, if she turns her nose to it then just stop giving it to her.
Have you tried doing quarter milk and 3/4 formula then half and half ? X
Try a cows milk top up, so for example: if baby has 6oz then make 5oz formula and top up 1oz of CM and then 4oz F and 2oz CM and then eventually just cows milk, we are doing this with my daughter at the moment and it seems to be working xx
I don’t like the idea of mixing the 2.. I dont mind putting half in 2 separate bottles as I’ve always been told not too and I’ve got it in my head now that if I mix it I’ll make her poorly. She loves cheese and yoghurts just not so much milk.. she’s 1 in 2 months but she just has no interest in milk.. x
I just can’t mix it together I always think I’m making her poorly.. it’s a tough one I can happily put it in separate bottles but not the same.. xx
I get that, my health visitor told me to do it that way but you have to do what feels right for you and your baby, maybe just try an oz a for a few days and slowly up it x
