Transitioning to whole milk - getting frustrated - have a question for you

Ive been transitioning DD to whole milk - by adding an ounce of whole milk to her 7 ounces every couple of days. We are now up to 5 ounces of whole milk and 2 ounces of formula and she has been refusing the bottle for days.

I know she has been teething - but she hasn't had a bottle for the whole day - just sips of the bottle every couple hours.

IS this normal? Could it be she doesn't like the taste of milk?

TIA

When DS got to that point I switched to sippy cups. In the two months since we transitione he hasnt drank as much milk at one time as he did formula.

But he doesn't have to drink as much milk as he did formula, formula provided all of the nutrients, where as milk provides SOME, but it is not the same thing!

I'd switch to a sippy too!Chat Icon Chat Icon

Thanks Ladies.

I really wanted her to get used to drinking whole milk from a bottle first before switching her to a sippy. I think it will give her an easier transiton - i want her to get used to one thing first.

I remember it took a good couple of weeks with my first DD to really start drinking her milk from a sippy straw cup.

Anyone else? How long was it until your child was drinking strictly whole milk?

You know what I did? I added Ovaltine! I checked with the doctor and he said it was fine... we have been fine ever since!

ETA: I went from BFing to a sippy cup!

I switched from formula/bottle to milk in a sippy all at once, cold turkey. She never looked back.
