As soon as I ran out of formula once Tara was one I put her on cows milk. The first couple of bottles she didn't take it all as I think she wasn't used to the taste but after that no problems at all.
As she was on lactose free formula I transitioned her to lactose free cows milk for about 3 weeks and then swapped her over to normal full cream milk and she has had no problems at all. I also found that when she had her bottle in the evening it seemed to make her sleep longer overnight as it must have filled her up more.
12 months here too. We were on holidays and I ran out of formula in our last night. I had planned to wean DD when we got home so saw no point in buying another tin of formula. She gulped it down without any issues and never had formula again
12 and 13 months. We stopped bottles altogether and changed over to a straw cup for full cream cow's milk. Both of the girls were fine with it. I gave them both cow's milk in their cereal from 6 months though so it wasn't totally new. We didn't bother weaning. They weren't drinking much of the bottles anyway
I've been transitioning Jagger over the last month BUT our change is to soy milk not cows'.
I started by putting regular fresh soy milk on his weetbix & porridge first at about 10mths, then I have slowly replaced his afternoon feed each day with soy. Today we start replacing his morning feed too then at 12mths I'll go full time soy.
18 months here due to DS not being a great eater. It took us 4 days to move him from formula to goats milk (easier to digest) and he still loves his bottles!
