What? If mom only nurses at home, where did all the forumla go??

Almost all my parents have tried to go right from formula or breast milk to cow's milk and it rarely goes well... the babies usually don't like it and/or they end up having tummy issues (diarhea, vomiting, constipation). I always encourage mixing half formula with cow's milk to the first few days, then 1/4 formula with cows milk and so on. Also, I don't encourage alot of milk to begin with... if a child is eating solid foods (and they absolutely should be at this age) they can get most of their nutrition from other daily and food sources. I only allow 10oz or so of milk at daycare, because I know all my kids are WAY overmilked at home.

Good luck!
