My baby is almost 13 months old. I tried giving him milk the other day and he did not go for it. He is the opposite of a picky eater lol, he'll eat anything. How do I transition? Cold turkey?

mix it in slowly. start with 75% formula to 25% milk, then 2/3 to 1/3, etc.
it'll help him get used to the taste of milk.

I do the same thing as the poster above, mix mostly formula with milk and slowly add more milk and less formula. Also, use milk to make oatmeal or rice cereal to also get them used to the taste.

Don’t drive yourself crazy over it, as long as they are getting calcium from other sources there’s no need to push it. My now 5 yr old hated cows milk and still does although she’ll drink chocolate milk. My paediatrician told me she’d rather her not have any milk over giving her chocolate milk.
