    Hi everyone!
    It has been 3 years since we had the twins, and I honestly don't remember when we started them on regular milk.
    Our newest baby, Logan is about to turn one November 12th, and I'm thinking this is about when we switched over to milk w/the twins.
    Any tips/advice, and could you tell me when you weaned your babies off the formula?
    Thanks so much!
    Kelly:)

    my ped recommends starting at 11 months and going completely to milk around a year.

    We started today, they'll be 11 months tomorrow. It's about 60 formula / 40 milk right now. No problems. Same with my oldest, she was off at 12 months, or maybe a week before that.

    We also started around 11 months. One weeks we did half and half and then increased the amount of whole milk each week. By 1 year, they were on all whole milk.

    We went cold turkey at 11 months, 10 days. Our pedi said it was fine anytime after 11 months since my girls were doing fine with their weight.

    I got the go ahead from my ped at 9 months, although most still recommend 12 months.

    Our pedi said whole milk at one year. I am tempted to start at 11 months, though, since we are traveling a lot during the holidays....
