Feeding a 1 year old

How did you switch to milk? sippy cups?

was it cold turkey or did you switch one bottle at at a time? Did you switch from bottles and formula at the same time?

DD is 11 months now and I'm anxious about changing things up next month. She likes her formula warm - did you warm the milk for a while to help LO adjust?

She will drink from a sippy cup a little - we give her about 2 ounces of water a day but she is pretty messy with it.

She has only gotten teeth in the last month - 2 on the bottom and top 2 are just breaking in. She seems to like the finger foods (soft carrots, puffs, cheerios). What are other finger foods you served at this age or stage?

nope. switched with bottles.

ped has us do 1/4 milk to 3/4 formula for 4 days, then half and half, then a 3/4 to 1 /4 until she was finally on milk.

my dd still will not take cold milk. we are going on 14 months and she still needs it warmed up.

she will sip from the sippy throughout the day but never drinks more than half of a sippy a day. thats why we haven't changed from bottles yet, because she won't drink anything then.
she gets 3 8 oz bottles of milk per day. doesnt' always finish though.

dd has been on all table food since 12 months. they can eat anything we eat now. HTH

Re: Feeding a 1 year old

Dd is milk allergic so we haven't done the conversion yet.

But in regards to food, she pretty much gets whatever we eat for dinner, just cut up smaller (and sometimes cooked softer). She also just has the 2 bottom teeth! Here are some of her faves:

Pork tenderloin
Chicken (grilled, roasted, poached)
Chicken soup (I take out most of the liquid)
Lentil soup thickened w/rice
Butternut squash soup w/ spinach
Pancakes
Dr. Praegers spinach or broccoli patties
Baked sweet potato "fries"
Eggs: scrambled, frittata with veggies or hash browns
Pastina
Shrimp
Cheerios, Rice Krispies (we use coconut or almond milk)
Bananas

Hope this helps!

switched with bottles

did half and half and he took it fine so we went straight milk after 2 days and was fine

she noticed the difference and is still on half and half

finger foods we pretty much do any food,just cut up small

I did 1/2 and 1/2 in the bottle until 2 weeks ago, then straight milk. The conversion to sippy cups took awhile, but we're there now.

I cook lots of scrambled eggs with cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches, soft chicken shredded up, meatloaf, meatballs, pasta, veggies, waffles, pancakes, and bananas, apples or mangoes, strawberries etc. I cut them into chunks and they pick them up themselves. We also still feed them veggies and other meats or pastina with a spoon. I am trying to teach them how to use a spoon but it's hard when they gag themselves with it.
