Re: formula vs. cows milk?
I tried whole milk the other day and DS was miserable...he was whiny all day and up and down all night. I dont know if it was b/c it wasn't filling him (although at this age, they should be filled up from food, not milk) or if it was upsetting his stomach. I am going to try again next week and slowly add the whole milk to his formula to make the transition.

Well, milk isn't supposed to fill up DC like formula. Formula is the main form of sustinance and milk is a drink. A nutritious drink, but it isn't the same thing as formula.

Re: formula vs. cows milk?
When DD#1 went to regular milk, we were told by the Dr. to slowly start adding it to the formula a little at a time, as to not upset her tummy. We did this at a year old and had no issues.

I stared weaning at 10.5 months and it took 6 weeks for him to be completely on cows milk. I added an oz. of whole milk at a time and subtracted that amount of formula and did that each week.
