Should I bring my baby to hospital?
I have a 22 month old and a 5 month old and whilst grabbing the baby bottle I accidentally grabbed the wrong one so that my youngest had some sips of cow milk instead of her formula. She normally has cow milk based formula.
I think she felt a weird taste and didn’t drink much of it, and as soon as I noticed and changed bottles she drank a lot of formula on top of it.
She is now sleeping.

Just monitor baby. Look out for diarrhea vomiting or blood in stool discomfort things like that. If baby has any of those then you should definitely go to the hospital. But I don’t think a hospital visit is necessary maybe call the Dr or if you have a medical line you can call I know my insurance has a nurses line I can call for medical advice and you can have piece of mind.
I would Call your pediatrician! Most have an on call and see what they say!
What would the hospital do?
My, at the time, 14 month old, gave my 2 month old her cows milk. I called the nurse's line, they called CDC 😅 everything was okay, they just said to monitor for signs of stomach upset. Id say she should be fine.

A few sips shouldn't be life threatening but it's better to be one the safe side and consult with a healthcare professional asap.
