with my son, we went' cold turkey and went from breast milk directly to cow's milk.  However I have a friend who's son refused cow's milk.  She started with 90% breastmilk and 10% cow's milk.  She gradually had him at 100% cow's milk but it took about 2 weeks. 

I was breastfeeding my son when I introduced cow's milk so I introduced it and weaned at the same time. I was worried that he would hate cow's milk but he just took it straight up. It made it so much easier for me!

I think it's worth a try to just give cow's milk and see what happens. If your child doesn't like it, then start slowly mixing it in with the formula/breastmilk and gradually increase.

when I hanged my little ones to cow's milk, I started with 2/3 water, and 1/3 cow's milk and over a period of about two weeks started adding more and more cow's milk until she was solely having about 200mls of milk. It seemed to work for me. Hope it gives you some help!

My little one is turning 1 in may and she has now been on cows milk now for a month, I also gave her fifty fifty but I only done this a couple of times as she ajusted to cow milk with no problems at all.

The easiest way to do it is to mix it with the formula & slowly increase the amount of cows milk & decrease the formula - or you can water the cows milk down until the get used to it using the same method.

At around 12 months I started adding a small amount of whole cows milk to my babys formula, increasing the amount until she was having half of each, and then made the switch to full cows milk.  I found that my baby prefered the cows milk, and never really liked her formula, though I tried several brands. 

With her water through the day, I tried spout cups at around eight months but they didn't work for us.  I found straw cups with a soft and flexible straw which had a no-spill valve.  I let my baby play with and gently chew on the straw first to get used to it and then sipped at the water myself to get it flowing upwards.  Once she tasted it coming out the top she chewed at the straw and then worked out the sipping herself.  She learned this within a few days. When it was time to give up the bottle (11 months for us) she already knew how to use the straw cup. Maybe you could try introducing the cup for water sipping now to get bubs used to it? 

I give my baby one cup of milk after breakfast, lunch and dinner, and let her sip on water during the day.

i used 50-50 milk and water (boiled) i used the same bottle up untill the were 14-18 months and then got the attachments to swap bottle to sippy cup. i used the avent bottles. at about 3 weeks i started to change mixture to 50-50 to 30-70 to 80-20 then 100% milk.

good luck
