Slowly replace formula servings with milk. Here's how: First, replace one formula feed a day with a 2- to 4-ounce serving of whole milk in a sippy or straw cup. Over the next 10 days or so, increase the milk servings as you decrease your child's formula servings, without exceeding 16 to 24 ounces of cow's milk a day.

Talk to your baby's doctor. They might have sample cans of formula available and also can ask the manufacturer for specific types of formula. You can also call a local hospital, office of WIC (the federal Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children), or an established breast milk bank.
