Mixing Whole Milk and Formula

Not sure on exact quantities but she’s on roughly 500ml formula a day so if she fully replaces that with milk I don’t think that would be too much?
Yes a month ago I started adding it to cereal and giving her small amounts to drink but formula is still her main drink for now She drinks cows milk absolutely fine so will switch over ok Shes 1 on the 15th May
My LO has had cows milk in wheetabix for ages, but didn’t take to cows whole milk on its own as a drink at all! Completely refused it. So the last couple of days I’ve been mixing formula with whole milk which is working! And I’ll gradually reduce the formula so in the end he’s just on whole milk!
I’ve just been to my 1-year development review and they don’t recommend mixing formula and whole milk anymore, so will just be introducing whole milk on its own 🫶
Aw birthday twins! Honestly I was planning to do the same as you. My LOs had milk in porridge, weetabix, shredded wheat. I do sometimes let her suck the remaining milk out of the bowl with a straw! She mostly spits it out so far 😅 but she also had loads of yoghurt and cheese so I’m not anticipating any issues with dairy. Halfway through a tub of formula now but have one more, when we open that one I think I’ll start transitioning :)
