weaning off formula

[Mrs Mc]

Just looking for some advice really....

I go back to work two weeks before the girls turn 1 (we're also moving too!) so basically it seems to be the perfect time to stop formula and bottles, even though technically its two weeks early.

How do I do it?

Currently the girls have just two bottles a day (just dropped their afternoon one). One when they wake and one before bed. Im thinking drop the morning first then finally the bedtime one.

Ive got 5 weeks so what do you suggest...?

We started off by giving DD cow's milk in her bottle during her morning milk - we didn't want to wind her up at bedtime if she hated it. Luckily she took to it like a duck to water. So within a few days we changed her evening milk to cow's milk as well - but still in a bottle - and she was absolutely fine. We didn't get her off her bottle until she was almost two. I think we were lazy rather than she wouldn't do it. We then went onto cups and a straw and have only had the cup emptied over her about 3 times in two years. At almost 4 she still has a cup of milk at bedtime from a cup with a straw. So pleased we got her onto Cow's milk - cheaper and less sugar!

Do you mean stop milk completely or swap to cows milk? My lg is 1 and still has 3 bottles a day of milk x
