Those whose babies have already turned one, have you stopped formula altogether or continuing for a bit?
My baby turned one at the beginning of the month, but she is showing no signs of wanting to give up her milk. She will cry all day until she gets it, so cutting out the midday bottle isn't great.
She has a bottle in the morning after breakfast, then she wants another after lunch and then has a bedtime bottle.
I still have a tub of formula to use up, so not looking to stop just yet, and I don't mind continuing onto stage 3 if need be. But just wondering if others are continuing and how did you cut down the feeds?
Thanks mumma's!

I just stopped. We were down to a morning feed and before bed feed, he wasn’t finishing them, then I ran out of formula and swapped the 2 feeds to cows milk. He didn’t drink much of it but kept trying over the space of a 10 days and stopped offering it a few days ago as was just a waste. he doesn’t miss it.
He has snacks in the day where the milk used to be. He’s 1 in 2 days.
Why would you move to stage 3 rather than cows milk out of interest?

We had our last prescription filled of allergen formula so just gonna finish the tubs we have and then that’ll be it. My daughter has 3 bottles a day before her sleeps. I know she doesn’t need it, she’s a very healthy sized girl haha, but just likes the comfort and I’m not necessarily in a rush. We’ve introduced oat milk which she doesn’t mind but isn’t as keen as her formula. I don’t think it’ll be the end of the world for us though when we’re done x

I've swapped to cows milk in a straw cup for the first bottle so he gets used to it whilst we use up the last of the formula. When that's gone, we'll swap the other two bottles to cows milk, and drop them as he wants too. He's only 4th percentile so I worry about dropping the number of bottles, even though he eats really well.

We are still doing our morning and evening one but will drop the evening one soon as that’s the one she’s leaving and can fall asleep okay without it 😊

She’s stopped having her morning bottle. But still has an afternoon, before bed and middle of the night bottle. I’m planning to swap the afternoon bottle to a straw with a cup and planning to wean off middle of the night bottle. I’ve decided to keep using formula though and not switch to cow’s milk.
