questions about weaning from formula to milk
My ped took my dd off formula at 10 months..I dk if that is the norm anymore.
What age was your dc weaned to milk?

Do they ever keep them on formula longer then one year???

Re: questions about weaning from formula to milk
I started to wean DDs 2 weeks before they turned one. However, they ended up with a nasty stomach virus, so I waited until they were 1 and did it VERY slowly - took almost 6 weeks. It worked fine, the love milk so it didn't end up being an issue. Good luck! I can't believe they're going to be on milk soon - weren't they JUST born???

Re: questions about weaning from formula to milk
I switched my DD at 13 months...should have been 12 months but she had a cold and it was the holidays and I didn't want her to have any issues or anything. But I have to say it was very easy for us. Just one day I gave her whole milk. She fought the first bottle a little bit but I kept giving it to her and that was that. I didn't want to do the half formula/half milk thing because she doesn't like change to much so I figured do it all at once and deal with the issues (which were none to my surprise). I did give her mylcon drops for a few days with the milk bottles incase it made her gassy.
Good luck!

Re: questions about weaning from formula to milk
Jacob is 13 months and we just started weaning him off of the bottle. He now only having a morning bottle and a nighttime bottle. For lunch I give him milk in a sippy cup and for dinner I give him water. I just basically stopped giving him the lunch and dinner bottle and he adjusted fine. I have been giving Jacob water in a sippy cup for a few months now just to get him used to it.

Re: questions about weaning from formula to milk
At 12 months my doctor wanted my boys off the formula so two weeks before their bday I started giving them milk in two bottles and formula in one and then switched totally over to milk on their one year. They were fine with it.

Re: questions about weaning from formula to milk
DS was taken off formula at 11 months old. I did it cold turkey and gave him milk for the morning & bedtime bottle. After about a month or so he took the sippy cup and have been doing it the same way ever since.

Re: questions about weaning from formula to milk
ugh- I have to start this.
Matty is 13 months old- he has a 6oz bottle before each nap (2x/day) and then an 8oz bottle before bed.
I would like to get him off his nap bottles soon- but I'm in no rush to end the bedtime one yet. Except I know its not great for his teeth.
