The best bet is to talk to your pediatrician - neither of my children used formula, so I'm not sure what the time frame for transition is. That being said, it makes sense to start giving your child more real food (mashed obviously) and cut down on the formula, since your baby should be able to get the vitamins & nutrients they need from the food.

As I recall from my nephews, formula can be expensive as well! Make sure that you discuss the changes with your son's diet with the pediatrician, (ask questions here also if you need help) and good luck.

Thanks for posting on funadvice.

My daughter will be one year old January 31,and I started her on whole milk @ 11 months.Itried @ 9 and then 10 months but she didnt like it. she loves it now. My two year old started @ around the same time, I never asked the dr. because he would say not to. my husband had to drink reguler milk from birth because he couldnt keep nothing else down so I say at around 10 to 12 months will be fine. Good Luck!!

I heard a year is when they usually do that...I mean I'm no doctor, but my little sisters doctor said a year. I don't think it would hurt a month early, but thats just my opinion...

With all 3 of my children my pediatrician told me to give them regular milk at 10 months and they all three did great with it.
