Starting regular milk
Alex is 11 mos now and I'm starting to think about transitioning to regular milk, I just can't remember how I did it with my two older kids(they're 13 and 9 now, so it's been awhile). I do remember throwing bottles away by their first birthdays. I'm pretty sure it was cold turkey too. I just can't remember if I gave them formula in their sippy cups or if I just switched to milk at the same time I threw the bottles away. darn, how did I do that?
Alex is no longer breastfeeding and is on Similac Isomil.
Wondering if I should start giving him little drinks of milk(we drink 1% or non-fat now), or if I should just wait until he turns 1(Aug 14) and like the others, throw the bottles away and give him 1% in his sippy...
any suggestions?
thanks

Yes, eating dairy products do count! This is what Cruz's nutritionist told me! She said yogurts, cheese, ice cream and high calcium dairies are a great replacement. She even said if worst came to worst we could add some dry milk to his whole milk to make it higher in calcium and calories that way he would not have to drink 16 oz.
Hopefully soon enough we will be writing about them taking too much milk! : )

Trying to get Cash to drink 16oz in a day is like pulling teeth!! He drinks probably 11 - 14 oz a day, but never 16oz. I wonder if eating dairy products (like yogurt, cheese, and milk in his cereal) can count towards the 16oz..
I am also having problems with Joel taking 16 oz in one day but the doctor said that it should be an average of 16 oz. some days will be more and some days less .. Today we actually got him to drink a bit more than 9 oz. We are working up to it though .. It is still the beginning.
Cruz's poop has gotten messier too! He is on lactose free formula (not soy) only because he stopped taking the regular kind. He was breastfeed for 8 months so I really do not think he has a lactose problem.....sigh he is so picky!
He is still taking 24oz of formula, this is his last week because he will be "1" on the 11th. He has been taking roughly 8oz or a little more of whole milk. I am hoping once he is finished with bottles we can get him to 16oz! Why can't eating and drinking because easy! I love food, why doesn't he?! : )

Kaprovea-did your doctor tell you start his milk like that. Because that is a really good idea (no offense to you)!! I hope that did not come out wrong! : / I was looking for away to transition to and that sounds great. Being that you have a few weeks on me I would love an update to see how it goes!!!
It is crazy that our babies are almost toddlers!!!!!
