Formula to cows milk

cole · #1 (**permalink**) 13-01-10, 11:53

Hey after some help on getting Theo off formula. He was having cows milk from about 11 months then he got ill with gastro bug at the end of the summer and was in hospital and didnt eat for over a week so Drs gave him formula to help build him up again. Well months later he wont have cows milk. Not in a bottle, not in a beaker, not even in cereal. I have tried mixing the 2 together with no joy.

Am I being to nice by giving him the formula and make him just have cows milk or nothing? I know it will mean sleepless nights for a bit but will be worth it if it works. Had so much else on my mind last few months not really stuck to anything.

Thanks xxxx

Did you gradually mix them? i had to do it really slowly with Jessimae.

Other than that get tough

I tried 1 oz at a time on a 8 oz bottle. Decide to try again tonight. He often goes to sleep at 7 with no bottle then wakes anytime up to 2 am for one so will try then cause he will be sleepy. Will save a fortune!

If i remember rightly Jessimae had 3 bottles morning and night and mid afternoon. the afternoon one i just offered cows milk and the others i changed slowly, in the night she only got water anyway.

I've been thinking about giving water in the night but he wont have any milk then at all. he wont drink it before he goes to sleep for some reason. Its just been assed with the crying at night! Maybe he wont (if I am lucky!)

I tried mixing the 2 together again last night and he drunk an 8 oz bottle. 5oz formula 3 cows milk. Gonna try an extra oz of cows milk tonight.
