I had the same problem with my little boy when he turned 1, he just didn't like the taste. I now use soya milk (this is a bit sweeter) with his cereal but he won't drink it from a bottle! I buy cow and gate formula for 1 yrs+ for his bedtime bottle and he loves that!

have you tried mixing it a little bit at a time with the formula milk? just start with maybe an oz of cows milk and the rest formula, do that for a few days then increase it gradually. she shouldn't even notice the different. I didn't really have this problem, my daughter stopped having formula milk all by herself at 9 months old!

Maybe she doesn't like the taste. You could give her toddler formula instead. Or you could just let her have dairy in different forms, eg milk on her breakfast cereal, cheese and yogurts, cheese sauce, etc. My daughter doesn't drink cows milk aside from the occasional sip, but she breastfeeds twice a day and she eats cheese and yogurt, so I don't think it's doing her any harm to not drink cows milk yet.

Hi I'm going through a similar stage with my daughter, she is 14 months. All I'm doing at the minute in mixing organic cows milk with her breakfast cereral, give her some forumla to finish off with in her bottle. For an afternoon I give her about 1oz of cows milk and 1oz of forumal and for her bedtime bottle I give her formula. Once she is taking the full 2oz of cows milk in her afternoon drink I will start to look at introducing cows milk to her breakfast bottle and then her night, but by this time she shouldn't need or wnat as much milk. Regards
