First Transition of Four

Today E started his first of four transitions...formula to cow's milk.   We'll much to my surprise it went pretty well.   Mind you, having had milk allergies myself, I was apprehensive of giving E milk and mentally prepared myself in the event we had to make an emergency trip to the dr or hospital.   Luckily our little man, tolerated the milk just fine...phew!   Once I got the nerve to pour a couple ounces of whole cow's milk into Ev's sippy, I offered it to him, he tried a sip of it and pushed it away.   So I thought, okay it's just the cup, let me try a different one.   Nope!   That didn't work either.   So, I decided to use E's pediatrician's suggestion...put one part cow's milk and 3 parts formula into Evan's bottle.   Of course!  That worked perfectly, and I did continued doing that for the remaining 2 bottles E had today.  My game plan from here on out is to continue to increase the cow's milk and decrease the formula until he is drinking all cow's milk, no formula.  Hoping it's not easier said than done...ha ha.

The remaining three transitions are (and in this order :)

*Bottle to cup...no more bottle (E is REALLY not going to like this one!)
*Two naps to one nap per day
*No more spoon fed meals-all independent and with use of utensils

I'll continue to update daily as to how this milk transition thing goes...keep your fingers crossed that it's a smooth one!
