Then straight milk, only in sippies, at 12 mo. No bottles after that. It went fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-stop-formula-when-it-runs-out#post-2674893 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 21:46:41 +0000 lioneyes 2674893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did half milk, half formula in the bottle for a few days then gradually switched to all milk, he didn't mind. Transitioning to fewer bottles and then from the bottle to sippy/straw cups was harder, we did a lot of milk mixed with water and trial and error on which cups he liked (nuby with moving straw was the favorite) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-stop-formula-when-it-runs-out#post-2674887 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 21:41:23 +0000 Rocker2014 2674887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's what we did, with no issues. LO never noticed the difference between formula and milk, in any kind of cup/bottle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-stop-formula-when-it-runs-out#post-2674874 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 21:35:47 +0000 MamaCate 2674874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@travellingbee: we did the bot tle to cup transition first, then the whole milk transition. But it was pumped milk, not formula, so if I were you I think I would make the switch! </p> <p>We did a few days of 75%/25%, then 50/50, then 25/75 before the full switch but I don't know if it was necessary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-stop-formula-when-it-runs-out#post-2674858 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 21:27:52 +0000 snowjewelz 2674858@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were on formula around 9 months so I was totally ready to stop buying it! We just went cold turkey probably a week after her first birthday? Warm cows milk in straw cup.. Never looked back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-i-stop-formula-when-it-runs-out#post-2674850 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 21:19:25 +0000 travellingbee 2674850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is one now. Do I just stop the formula cold turkey when it runs out? I'm not ready to totally bottle wean but I don't know if it'sbetter to continue with formula as long as he is getting a bottle or transition to whole milk in his bottle (I've heard that makes it harder to get rid of the bottles and to teach them that milk goes in a sippy...) So many mixed messages!! </p>
