you can. but you don't have to do this. nothing "magic" happens at twelve months when we switch from formula to cow's milk so you can just do all at once. mixing formula with milk now is really not necessary. just start giving the formula in a cup so the child can go off of the bottle. when you run out of formula you can certainly switch to milk a few weeks early (i won't tell). as long as the child is eating well from the table it will not make any difference.
can i mix formula and cows milk for my 11 month old. i want to start weaning my 11 month old to cows milk can i mix her bottle with half cows milk and half formula until she is one? i was told that it would be ok to mix 2oz of cows milk and 4oz of formula for the first couple weeks and to slowly add more cows milk till she turns one then she would be on cows milk completely. can i start to do this? or is it better to wait till she is one?
