Re: Year-olds starting regular Milk....
I started with putting milk in only one bottle the 1st day but I did 3/4 formula and the rest milk just to see how they would react and slowly added more each day ( mine were on soy)

I gave him 8 oz and the same amount of times as I did his formula. I went cold turkey from formula.

Yeah that's what I did -- cold turkey.
How often did you give it? Becasue DS would get his bottle 4 times a day (breakfast, lunch, dinner and bedtime -- 7.5 oz each time).
The Ped office told me that "milk" is like a meal and should only get a bottle twice a day -- so I cut back to only twice a day. And I've been giving him a milk bottle at lunch and bedtime. And duing breakfast he'll get a juice bottle and dinner another juice bottle or water.

DS gets 3 sippy cups of milk a day (each with 5-6 oz). If he's still thirsty anytime else during the day, he gets a sippy with water.

Re: Year-olds starting regular Milk....
DS has been on milk for 8 months now, but when he started and still to this day, he gets 3- 6oz sippies a day. One with breakfast, one with lunch and one with dinner. The rest of the day he gets juice or water.
The only time we dont give him as much milk is if he is congested/mucusy, then I water it down and cut back on how much he gets.
I know you are just transitioning, so you are concerned he is getting enough. I was totally like that too. But 8 months later, you do relax about it and it eventually becomes less like measuring out a serving formula/BM and more about just giving him a drink with a meal.

Re: Year-olds starting regular Milk....
DD gets 3 bottles a day and is drinking about 16-20 oz. We just started putting milk in with her formula. For an 8 oz bottle, I'm putting 3 oz of milk and the rest in formula and will build up slowly.
Tried giving her milk straight and she didn't like it.

One with breakfast and one with dinner. They have water available the rest of the day.
