I don't think it matters what milk they have.  Mine never had formula and slept all night every night.  Her god-mother put hers on formula at 4 months to try to help her sleep, she's now 6.5 years old and STILL wakes through the night but now she just gets up and has a drink of water, goes to the toilet etc, puts herself back to bed.  Although her mother still wakes up to listen to her, she doesn't really need to now that she's older.  We have a 6 month old at work who has been exclusively breastfed until this week when solids were introduced at lunch time.  She has always slept well.  We have a 7 month old who's mother says she wake up twice a night at least and she's been on formula from 6 weeks when the mother went back to work, and we have one that's just turned 3 months who only ever sleeps for 2 hours, wakes for an hour, sleeps for 2 hours, that's around the clock and he's never tasted breastmilk so you can try it but don't be fooled into believing that formula makes them sleep better!  A nice way of given milk other than your own is to sit down together and have warm milk with a biscuit as a family before brushing teeth.  That's what we do sometimes although mine doesn't really like milk.

OK i was tired as well last night, and mucked my answer up all together,,...sorry

so this is what i did with my 3, i put them straight on cows milk, the devondale type, and brought some pentavite to put in it,, I also brought the nu teats, and i never looked back, and brodie was the hardest to wean on to normal milk.......

Hope he settles for u soon....

You say hubby is bringing him to you at lunch time for a feed. How about he try without you there, and see how that goes. I know with one of mine, if I was anywhere around no bottle could be used, but if I left then he would have a bottle. And I would go straight to cows milk at this age.
Keep persevering. Leisa

I breast feed both my girls well Ella is now 18 months but from 1 month old i gave Ella formula at night as my milk supply wasnt that great, and it helped her sleep through the night. When she was 8 months old i was pregnant and she went of the breast and was on formula up until 12 months and she was quite content. At 12 months i gave her cows milk 3 times a day and now she has it 2 times a day, it defintly fills them up more if they arent eating alot.

Well he can have normal milk at 12mths - so you could try him on some of that... Jaydee was weaning off the breast and formula and transferring over to normal milk and soy milk for a month at that age.  I bottle fed him from the first week so that he was used to it (pumped breast milk).  Keep persevering with the bottle - if you keep giving up - he will keep demanding boobie juice straight from the source.  Be firm, he won't starve - he is eating as well... Doing it at lunchtime is best, as he would need a decent feed of breastmilk at breakfast to start the day and in the evening to settle.

Also - you should start to introduce water too - he is old enough and with summer coming he will need the extra hydration.

Since your child is a year old, you can actually go straight to cow's milk instead of formula. But that's your choice of course, there is nothing wrong with using formula at this age (it's just more expensive). Cow's milk has sugar in it (don't know how much, but you can look at the label when you buy some) and may be a bit sweeter than formula. Breastfmilk is sweeter than formula, so your child may take it better than formula.

Also, you can try sippy cups already. But if you go this route, you'll have to buy ones with softer spout. Your child may prefer one over the other, so don't buy more than one of the same kind.

Good luck to you.

 

First get a decent bottles like the avent ones, there are others, but they need to be more Breast like. Then get the age approp formular. keep trying and only offer it at the time you want. I found if I snuggled as if I was feeding my son attached better tot he bottle.

At this age he can start with cows milk to. All you can do is keep trying with both food and milk

Good Luck

Giving him a comp feed on top of a bf feed is fine,as i did this with  my kids..

So The plan is to go and get teats that are the same shape as a breast, and ask your pharmasist/ mothercraft nurse which Formula is the best...... If these work he should settle for u...
