Then once he was fully transitioned to cups (and it takes a few weeks even once they are fully transitioned to start drinking their normal amount from the cups), I started transitioning from BM to hemp milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottle-to-sippy-formula-to-whole-milk-transition#post-1825310 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 10:42:12 +0000 ValentineMommy 1825310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We moved completely to the sippy cup first, a little before DS's first birthday. We first changed his daytime bottles to sippy's, then once he was used to it, we changed his morning one, then his bedtime one. </p> <p>Once he was using the sippy all the time, we did half formula/half milk for a few days, then just gave him the milk. He didn't seem to notice or care thankfully! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bottle-to-sippy-formula-to-whole-milk-transition#post-1825290 Wed, 20 Aug 2014 10:38:30 +0000 My Only Sunshine 1825290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok ladies, this seems like the sort of thing that is no big deal after the fact, but a little overwhelming when you're in the middle of it....</p> <p>My DD is almost one and I'm trying to figure out the transition away from bottles and formula to sippy cups and whole milk. She was breastfed until a few months ago and we slowly transitioned to formula with no trouble.</p> <p>What was your process for this transition? Bottle weaning and starting WCM at the same time, or tackle one first then the other? She'll use a sippy cup or a straw cup but she LOVES her bottles. </p> <p>Also, anyone keep a bedtime bottle for a while but drop the rest?</p> <p>Any other helpful tips? </p>
