Cows milk


Hi my daughter will be one in less then 2 weeks time I was wondering when are they allowed or supposed to have cows milk as I would love to try her on just cows milk through the day and formula on a night or will that just confuse her ??

I switched Emma to cows milk at that age - I replaced it oz by oz, so for example instead of making 6oz of formula I would make 5 and then top up with cows milk, then after a few days it was 4 and 2...and so on.

Not sure if that makes any difference really but I wanted it to be a gradual change for her.

We put Evie on cow's milk just before her first birthday. She was having 3 bottles a day at the time and I just changed one bottle to cow's milk every couple of days. After a week she was fully on cow's milk.. she seemed to prefer it to formula so we never had a problem with her refusing bottles

Babies from 1 year should have full fat... when they're 2 you can change it to semi skimmed

When i switched Harriet she was 10-11 months. I did it by doing half and half bottles.. making hakf with formula and topping uo with cows milk. Then when our carton of baby milk ran out we just did full cows milk

We had no problems, in fact she preferred the cows milk and loved it being cold x
