My boys were both formula fed by that stage, so we mixed formula and cow's milk. First 1/4 whole cow's milk and 3/4 formula, then 1/2 and 1/2, then 1/4 formula 3/4 wcm, and then only milk.

The baby will be drinking 100% wcm by tomorrow!!

We did cold turkey. Once we made the transition, I didn't really worry about my LOs getting a certain number of ounces. I switched over to the mentality that they should have three servings of dairy a day (a serving of milk is only 4oz) and LO was still nursing morning and night and eating yogurt and cheese. I offer milk at meals and sometimes she drinks it all and sometimes she drinks none. She has a cup of water available throughout the day. If your LO is growing well, I wouldn't really worry about volume of milk.

We switched cold turkey and didn't have an issue. We also didn't warm bottles. Both LOs were EBF.

I mixed them for a short period of time but LO didn't seem to care
I do zap bottles for 20-30 seconds, but I only do that so the straw cup doesn't leak. It's barely room temp. She will drink it cold but I haaaate cleaning up leaked milk. So I nuke it for 30 seconds.

We did cold turkey but had stopped warming up bottles when DS started daycare, since he was happy with chilled or room temperature. Does she like CM? It may be a BM vs CM transition issue more than a temperature one if she doesn't like CM at all.

We went cold turkey to cold cows milk, BUT we added a drop of chocolate syrup (I know, but it worked so well!) for the first couple bottles. There was so little it didn't change the color, but both kids slurped it down and then transitioned easily to just cows milk.

DS2 is almost 14 months. He's been off bottles and drinks cold milk during the day at school, but I give him warmed milk in the morning and at night. I know he likes warmer milk and I personally have a hard time with ice cold milk in my stomach first thing in the morning, so I do it. Bedtime I warm it just because he's had a long day and likes the cuddles and snuggles.

We are actually having a hard time switching to fresh milk. DS1 had a long transition too. Neither had any issue with the flavor, but WCM gave both boys raging acidic runs that peeled the skin right off their butts! We did toddler formula with DS1 for a while and with DS2 we are at 50/50 Nido Kinder and WCM (and still dealing with rash so we will be on this mix for a while).
