From last night I officially put logan on
cows milk and he hates it 
he is a really fussy eater and although he
is not underweight he hardly eats and
relies on formula to fill him up.
Well yesterday evening after cooking
another dinner for 2 hours only to have
him shake his head and turn it down, I
decided i'd had enough and switched him to
cows milk.
He usually has 2 bottles during the night
still but I gave him cows milk at 3am
yesterday ad he spat it out and screamed
the place down for formula. I refused to
give him it cause if he was that hungry he
would drink the cows milk.
He stood up in his cot and threw the
bottle of milk out whilst having a
tantrum. I ignored him and 5 mins later
he fell asleep without anything.
He woke up this morning at 7.30 and I
tried him on weetabix. He refused it. So
I gave him 2 baby yoghurts and he ate
them. I then tried to give him some cows
milk and he just keeps refusing it.
Even though its stressful i'm going to
keep going cause he's supposed to be on
cows milk from one (which is monday) and
he's just not eating solids cause the
formula is filling him up.
Has anyone else had a problem with putting
their child on cows milk? Layla took to
it straightaway. I've tried it cold and
warm with no success.

I did not have a problem with giving my
son milk. I had more of a problem trying
to get him to eat.

Becks - soften the blow hunni.
Make up formula as normal then spilt it
into 2 halfs and add half milk to make it
up to his usual size bottle.
So if he normally has say 6oz formula put
3oz of made up formula and 3oz of cows
milk.
Do that for maybe a week then change it to
1/4 formula (ie 1.5oz formula/4.5oz cows
milk), then go onto plain cows milk.
Also there is no such thing as "supposed
to be on cows milk at one year old" - it's
that they shouldn't have it before one
year old.

I think the idea of half & half to
start and then gradually decreasing the
amount of formula is a good one. If ya
can't beat 'em, trick 'em! It's only
just dawned on me that mothers have to be
master strategists...
This is kind of scaring me when I think
that this may be in my near
future...Ah well.
Jess, in canada they recommend cows milk
before 1 year?

Trey had been eating yogurt and cheese and
stuff since six months with no probs so I
switched. I was spending 80$ a week on
formula!!

wow!  $80 a freaking
week! Insane! We spend about $100 to
$125 a month and that's taxing the heck
out of us...

yup definately! Im surprised some people
dont think of that themselves. Its
natural not to like something new, and
pretty cruel imo to switch a baby's milk
straight away like that. Better to do it
gradually like tigres said.

i think 'cruel' is a bit harsh allie!
my son took to moo juice straight away but
my friend's daughter was having none of
it. My fiend did the half and half thing
and now she will drink it in the morning
but still no joy at night.
