DD is a couple of weeks off one and I have just started introducing some cow's milk feeds. Honestly, the tub of formula ran out and I was too stingy to buy another one when I knew there'd be loads left by her first birthday! We still have a few cartons of formula - she has one of these for her bedtime bottle, then I've been replacing her morning and lunchtime bottles with cow's milk.
However, with the cow's milk, she takes a couple of gulps then looks at me as if to say 'what is this Mother?' and refuses to drink any more. She's never been much of a one for milky but she is barely having any now. Other than that I have no concerns about her diet-she enthusiastically eats most things (inc cow's milk on her cereal) and drinks plenty of water.
Should I be worried about very low milk intake? Has anyone else's DC rejected cow's milk and basically ditched milk as a drink at this age? (Really can't afford to put her on follow on formula)
TIA
