@m_naquin1988, they recommend pear juice now cause its less acidic than apple juice so it's easier on the stomach.

@m_naquin1988, not when given regularly, the sugars in apple juice work as a stool softener. my doctor "prescribed" it to my oldest when she was 2 months.

if you switch straight to milk, no transition, your baby could get seriously constipated. my daughter would only poop once every 2 weeks even with me giving her diluted apple juice everyday and adding prunes and baby laxatives.

@m_naquin1988, this kid will not drink off a sippy cup so that won't be a problem😐 I will start this and hope he will cooperate

you can mix it with formula or what I did sometimes is If you still give your baby cereal mix some in the cereal my daughter loved it!

@momma1, that is what i do. my little guy only gets maybe 3 bottles a day we are up to 3oz formula to 5oz whole milk. But his pediatrician also said he can have juice and water in a sippy cup but not to do milk in the sippy cup. only to give him a bottle at nap time and bed time

@theirmommy_2, yeah I just warmed up 4oz of milk and put some cereal on it he was a little puzzled at first but drank it to sleep anyways might replace one of his bottles with milk ! I've given him milk before with meals

but I think you should just give him the whole milk and warm it up, if the baby likes it then you'll know, I will do the same with mine but I'm waiting until after she turns 1@momma1

@theirmommy_2, I asked my mom and she said it wasn't good to mix formula and whole milk ? that's why I was confused

my sister told me it's best to do it right away by giving her the milk and warm it up. Some other people told me that it's dangerous to do half and half formula and milk, but I'm not sure I'm trying to transition mine to

@mrsgeorge, my son is a year in a couple days his nutritionist recommended to stay switching at 11months but I waited

I've started to transition my son by mixing in a little whole milk with breast milk like I would do 3oz breast milk and then 1 oz whole milk and he's taking it fine! He just turned 11 months

take an ounce of formula out and add while milk. (7oz formula 1oz whole milk) change every 2 weeks.

this is what the pediatrician recommended me to do for my son

it's best to speak with a pediatrician. my pediatrician doesn't recommend switching to whole milk until after the first 12 months.
