hi, my little girl is 14 months,ive had her on growing up milk for the last 3 months and want to change her over to cows milk,what is the best way to do this??do i dilute milk with water? or use half formula half milk? she often gets constipation,even though she eats a varied diet and drinks alot of water during day? please help,any advice would be apprecciated!! xx
hi sweet how i changed my 3 of 4 over was to introduce it say as a bedtime drink and
then gradually increase it throughout the day. i didint dilute it or add formula just cows milk
on its own also for constipation try fresh juice.
hugs xx
thank you for your advice,will try that then!! what fresh juice is the best???
Hi
My daughter is 15 months and I changed her from formula to cows milk last week. Just like the other lady said I changed her evening bottle first and then tried it at breakfast time. She changed over in the first night, but it did take a little longer for her to drink the bottle than usual. Hope that helps. xx
hi hun
try fresh orange could dialute if too strong. if not just try any fresh juice. any flavour.
hope you getting on alright with cows milk hugs xxx
my son is 18mnths old and still has follow on milk in the morning and before bed ive tried cows milk time and time again cold and warmed up and he just wont touch it the only time i get him to drink it is in very weak tea or with milk shake powder in it
thanks so much all for your advice,its so good to hear from other mums!! i have delayed the process of changing her over to cows milk,because she has had high temps,sore throat,got 3 teeth together at same time and was off her food so kept her on formula for the extra nutrients!! she still has very sore gums,at the minute:( i will be making the change over very soon though, luv and hugs to all the mums xxx
My lad is also 18 months and still on C&G 3 reason being I've tried several times to switch him to cows milk either full or mixed with formula and it doesnt seem to agree with him, he gives me up to 5 dirty nappies a day when he takes cows milk and they're very acidy and make his bum red raw so he can stay on formula for a while longer yet.
