Introducing Whole Milk...

What would be the best way to do this?

Right now his bottles are mixed with formula and breastmilk. Mostly formula though. What stinks is that I just bought a container of formula the other day, so I have a bit left. At least it's not a huge can. It's the 12.9 oz one. Anyway, should I put some in a sippy cup? Should I water it down? Should I mix it with the breastmilk or formula in the bottle? Any ideas? Thanks!

Re: Introducing Whole Milk...

start out slow. I mixed about 5-6 ounces of breastmilk with 2 ounces of whole milk, and increased the amount of whole milk each day until the bottle ws entirely whole milk. This allows you to make sure there are no allergies and will not be such a shock for your little once, especially since whole milk tastes alot different than breastmilk,he will aquire a taste for the whole milk smoothly. Good luck it shoudl take about 2 weeks to wean off the breastmilk and be on a full bottle of whole milk. Have fun
