how to transition from toddler formula to cows milk???

[* Paula *]

We too swapped oz for oz formula with cows milk.  We tried cold turkey but my DD was having none of it.  We knew she did not have any allergies as I had used cows milk in cooking and cereal since 6 months.

We swapped oz for oz each day, and she did well on this.

Hi Paula,

i think this is the way i'm going to have to do it, i put some in a sippy cup yesterday morning and he kept screwing his face up and spitting it all over the floor! So cold turkey isnt going to work... I was just concerned mixing would make him ill, but most people on here seem to do it without any worry!

I'm going to conquer his sleep issues firstly before we make the switch, or maybe i should do all at once!!!!

It did not make our DD sick.  All we did was make her formula up as normal, but just an oz less, and when that was done, we added the extra cows milk to it.

With regards to his sleep issues, might be worth posting on Toddler Sleep to see if the ladies there can help you.  I would be inclined to get the sleep sorted first, but that is just me.
