  switching from formula to whole milk Reply Contact Has anyone started the process of switching from formula to whole milk? My son will be 11 months old on Friday, so I was thinking about slowly switching him over starting then. He is on Isomil Advance powder formula, and here's what I have come up with. For 3 days we will do 4oz formula with 4oz whole milk, then go to 2oz formula with 6oz whole milk, then eventually be up to 8oz of whole milk. Is this the way that it should be done? Are there any other suggestions?

  Re: switching from formula to whole milk Reply Contact Hi,With with my children i have 5, i started them at around 11 months(my youngest son will be weaned when he is 11 months at the end of november). on half water half cow's milk,I never heard of mixing it with formula as that is combining 2 different milks,but maybe that is just the Australian way of us weaning our babies to cows milk. I hope that some of this information will help you! helps

They kinda do the weird face at first but then are fine. it's just like getting them to drink water and juice. We did what our pediatrician said and waited till my daughter was close to 1 years old and will probably do the same for our son (dec. 27th he will be 1)
