My son won't stop formula!

Hiya first time mom here, my son is 16 months this month and was only a special formula as he was cmpa however has done the dairy ladder and is fine with dairy now.

He will not have anything that is too cold but i have even tried warming his milk to room temperature and he will not drink it.
He used to drink coconut milk but too much makes his belly unsettled. He like almond milk but didn't like it as a steady diet. And he doesn't like soya or oat milk.

He won't drink from any bottles other then his mam ones. He drinks from new ones maybe twice so I think he is doing it and then he stops.

I'm really struggling here and he starts nursery in September, i don't know what to do anymore.

Have you tried the transition between formula to milk...
Stage 1 90% formula - 10% cows milk
Stage 2 70% - 30%
Stage 3 50/50
Stage 4 30/70
Stage 5 10/90

Sometimes it's the taste adaption that's the issue.
Wishing you the best of luck 🤞

Does he need milk? Like you’re concerned about him getting certain nutrients etc? We rarely give milk as a drink anymore since dropping formula, only when he asks directly for it, and no issues with eating or weight gain x

Nappies in this heat 😷

Ladies what are we doing with dirty nappies in this heat? I had a separate outdoor bin for them but it f****** stunk! So just throwing them direct into the wheelie bin now but ours only gets collected once every 2 weeks so worried about flies and yes maggots 🤮. What’s everyone else doing?

Crying

Does anyone else cry? 😂 ive cried twice now, baby is 5 week old, so overall that isn't too bad!! But im tired.. she's very much at the stage now where she wakes instantly when i put her down. But I feel guilty for crying because I love my little girl so much and I'm crying because of the sleep deprivation that she's causing.. i always feel better after a cry

Nappies

*UPDATE*
I GOT NAPPIESSSS 🥳🥳🥳
So i am really embarrassed with this, but i have run out of nappies and I have now had to use a teatowel to cover my boy up. Unfortunately, his dad won't be back until 8ish but I do not see a way to take him out to the shops to get one, my question really is, What the fuck do i do? Its not like the shop is close by either.

Talker or mover

Has anyone found their baby was either a talker or a mover? My baby is pulling to stand but really not babbling much at 10 months. He’s has in the past but the last couple of weeks he has been so quiet. Wondering if anyone else’s LO stopped being social whilst learning a new motor skill?

I know I'm being sensitive ...

... But it drives me mad when I'm asked what I do when my baby naps during the day. Especially by my mum who asked if I'm "working" or "working out" or something. My baby is now napping no more than 20min so I do small things around the house and that's it. I don't want to feel judged for it. Sometimes I just nap if I can.
Plus he is extremely fussy at the moment so the carrier is not an option (also I am exhausted)
