Unless DC is underweight, I think most babies are switched at 12 months.
We switched my DS at 11.5 months.

We switched to whole milk at 12 months.
Then we just recently switched to 1% at 2 years.
ETA: At 12 months when we switched to whole milk, we did the switch cold turkey and DS had no problem adjusting to milk.

Same here.
DS took to milk right away. We didn't have to mix it with anything to make him drink it. (But after a few months, we actually had to start watering it down because he was drinking TOO much.)

Re: When did you switch to regular milk??
I was told I could start at 11.5 months. We just finished doing it, so now DS is on whole milk bottles.
I just replaced 1 oz of water with 1 oz of whole milk for all his bottles each day. The amount of formula also went down with the correct water amount.
So a 6 oz bottle on the first day consisted of 5 oz water+ 2.5 scoops of formula + 1 oz milk.
2nd say, a 6 oz bottle was 4oz water +2 scoops formula +2 oz milk.
and so on.

Re: When did you switch to regular milk??
we started at 11 months (after checking with the pediatrician). we substituted one ounce of formula with one ounce of milk per bottle, and increased the amount of milk by one ounce each day. that way the transition only took a week. DS did fine and loves his milk!

Re: When did you switch to regular milk??
We're probably going to start this month. I am still nursing so I think I am going to start with 2 feedings. Our ped. suggested that I do 20% whole milk and 80% breast milk for the first week and to keep adding more whole milk each week.

We were told to switch her around 11 months. We also need to get rid of the bottle at that same time...
