How to switch from formula to whole milk...

You should start phasing out formula and introducing whole milk at the one year mark. Below are a few tips to make the transition easier.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Try going cold turkey and changing all the bottles/cups at the same time.
2. If going cold turkey does not work, substitute one bottle a day with milk and work your way up or mix the formula and milk while gradually increasing the milk as your child gets used to the taste.
3. Try serving the milk at different temperatures. You don't want to be warming up milk the rest of your life but it may make the transition easier.
4. Also consider introducing other dairy products into your child's diet such as yogurt and cheese.
5. And finally, have patience. Remember this is a new experience for you and the baby.

Tips & Warnings

• Make sure you are purchasing whole milk (it contains more vitamins and nutrients than 2 %.)
