DD is 1yr and 1 wk, I have just started her on cows milk, she is BF and FF. She has been getting cows milk on her cereal for a couple of weeks now, no problems. So yesterday I swapped one of her day bottles of formula for bluetop milk, no comlaints . Plunked said I could switch fully to cows milk now if I want and that I should offer milk during the day in a cup instead of a bottle. I think I will stick with BF in the morning and FF at night for a while for more nutritional value and cows milk during the day. I will work on the cup! lol She drink water from a cup just fine but think milk shoud come from the boob or a bottle. I have heard that if they dont like the taste of cows milk you can mix it with formula and slowly decrease the amount of formula til it's all cows milk. That way they can get used to the new taste. ]]> Mon, 05 Jul 2010 13:49:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34054&PID=1087886&title=cows-milk-milk-feeds#1087886 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34054&PID=1072172&title=cows-milk-milk-feeds#1072172 Author: julz85

I am about to try Amelia on some cows milk ( she is one very soon ) shes breastfed and formular fed , altho i am starting to wean off boob as i just dont produce much milk at all anymore , im back at work 2 full days and a half day a week so my boobs have certinley noticed the fact they dont get used in these times and im definatly drying up . i was wondering how to lead them from formualr to cows milk , so do you mix the formular and cows milk together in the same bottle ? shes had cows milk in her weetbix for a while now and she seems fine with it so should i just try a full bottle of cows milk straight away or is it better if you mix formular and cows milk when they are starting  ?]]> Tue, 22 Jun 2010 11:36:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34054&PID=1072172&title=cows-milk-milk-feeds#1072172 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34054&PID=1064710&title=cows-milk-milk-feeds#1064710 Author: mummymonster

So you're mixing the milk right in with the formula?

Cory is on neocate, and i have just about finished switching him to cows milk.

Cory has x3 meals and a snack, plus he was having 4 bottles a day of 150mls.

he is now on 2 bottles of 150mls, (morning and night).. (and 150mls in a sippy cup with lunch...no formula added to this cup)

I just started by making up 100mls formula to 50mls of blue top milk...and we are now on 50mls formula to 100mls blue top...and in a couple of days he will be fully on cows milk. ]]> Tue, 15 Jun 2010 08:01:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34054&PID=1063704&title=cows-milk-milk-feeds#1063704 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34054&PID=1063495&title=cows-milk-milk-feeds#1063495 Author: AandCsmum

I think that either is fine but usually the blue top.

To change over I slowly changed from full formula to milk by making less formula & topping up with milk. Do it slowly & they won't know]]> Mon, 14 Jun 2010 21:30:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34054&PID=1063495&title=cows-milk-milk-feeds#1063495 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34054&PID=1063379&title=cows-milk-milk-feeds#1063379 Author: mummymonster

DS is a bit off 1yr yet, but I've been wondering. . .

I bought a bottle of full cream milk (silver top) the other day for a specific recipe. Oh my it's different than the light blue top milk that's usually in the house.

When DS is 1 ish, I guess I'll have to choose if he goes onto a toddler formula or gets cows milk as a drink.

Then if I give him cows milk which one? (I figure I'd only be picking between dark blue and silver top)

And I'm starting to wonder how I'm going to go about dropping one of his bottles. He's currently on 3 solid meals (& he eats them) and some snacks (less consistent) and 4 x 240ml bottles. He doesn't usually finish every bottle every day, but other than his morning bottle he's random as to which bottle he'll finish and which he only drinks 1/2.

I'm wondering what other mums have done around 1 yr?]]> Mon, 14 Jun 2010 19:52:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34054&PID=1063379&title=cows-milk-milk-feeds#1063379
