hi welcome back to mommy duties today
I'm just going to explain how I
transition Christopher from drinking
formula to regular milk but first let's
do word of the day today I'm going to
teach you how to say grandma in Spanish
and in sign language in Spanish you say
abuela and in Sai language you're going
to put your thumb to your chin and make
two arcs before I get started I just
want to mention that all babies are
different which is the fun part about
parenting because they're so
unpredictable
this method might have worked for
Christopher and it might or might not
work for your baby so I just wanted to
make that clear so some of you may know
Christopher turned a year on September
19th and I was so excited everything
turned out great thankfully and we're
just so blessed that he turned a year
and I was especially excited because
that meant no more formula three weeks
prior of him turning 12 months I wanted
to test the waters and experiment a
little bit to see how he would react to
regular milk to my surprise he didn't
like it
Christopher's usually willing to try new
things so I thought he was going to be
okay with drinking regular whole milk I
shouldn't have been surprised because he
has been drinking formula for six months
of his life so of course he has been so
used to formula transitioning to regular
whole milk it was going to be something
that we had tackled together and if
you're a baby drink regular whole milk
for the first time and loved it
kudos to you I applaud you guys are so
lucky but for me with a different story
I had to find a way to sneak in the
regular milk someway somehow so that you
can get used to it normally he would
drink six ounces of formula what I ended
up doing was I just did four ounces of
formula and 2 ounces of regular whole
milk the first couple of days he did not
like it he could smell he could taste it
he would cry even though he really
wanted milk but by the end of the first
week of trying it he ended up thinking
the whole bottle
by the second week I lowered the ratio
formula I did 2 ounces of formula and
then 4 ounces of regular whole milk and
of course he did not want to drink it he
kept busting he kept wanting to get down
who did not want to drink it he kept
throwing the bottle he was shake his
head but had to be persistent I had to
be in control so even if I had to sit in
the sofa with him for 30 minutes until
he finished a bottle I was willing to do
it because otherwise he was never going
to get used to the regular whole milk
and again at the end of that second week
he finished the whole bottle with no
hassle a third week it was just all
regular whole milk in his bottle and the
same pattern first couple of days who
did not want it but at the end of that
we can drink the whole bamboo he was
drinking regular whole milk in his
bottle yeah we did it though that was
our journey our story of transitioning
into a big boy and not drinking formula
anymore which is great for us because
going off to buy it all the time like we
used to so we're happy we're happy about
that we're happy right Christopher
alrighty that's gonna be it for today I
hope you found it helpful and like I
said every baby is different so this
method might or might not work for yours
but if you have tried this method before
and it has been successful or not let me
know in the comment section down below
we'll see you in our next video bye
Oh
what are you have in your mouth
I tell you they finds little of things
and the things that they should be
playing in the round
