almost 1 year old!

Hi ladies,
our little boy is almost 1 year old now. We've been trying to gradually switch him to regular semi-skimmed milk, but he's not really into it. We've tried fresh and UHT, but he only takes a few sips and then doesn't want any more.
Does anyone have tips? And how much and how often should he have it per day from 1 year old?

This is his current schedule:

06:30/07:30 drink 150 to 180 ml follow-on formula + 1 slice of bread
09:30 pieces of fruit + cup of Roosvicee
11:00/12:30 150 to 180 ml follow-on formula + 1 to 2 slices of bread
Nap
13:00/13:30 cup of Roosvicee
14:00 cookie with raisins / cup of Roosvicee
16:30 dinner (eats with us)
shower
18:00/18:30 sleep 200ml Bambix evening porridge




IPC says he can drink Roosvicee all day, it's on the table.
In between, if he hasn't drunk much follow-on formula or we skip it, he gets regular milk.
But as I already said, no success.

    My daughter didn’t drink regular milk. She really didn’t want to. So she just had follow-on milk, in the morning and evening. Gradually, it was mixed with regular milk, adding 30 ml each time. So, for example, 150 ml follow-on and 30 ml regular, and a few days later 120 ml follow-on and 60 ml regular milk. That’s how she slowly learned to drink milk, although she’s not really crazy about it yet.

    She did have other dairy products, like cheese and yogurt. That’s fine too.

    Oh, and she only drank water in between meals and still does. Or tea..

    The recommended amount of dairy for a little one is 300 ml per day. So that also includes custard/yogurt/cheese etc.
    What do you make bambix porridge with now? That can of course also be made with regular milk.
    Some children find full-fat milk tastier than semi-skimmed/skimmed.
    Maybe buttermilk might be to his liking? I don't drink milk myself but I do like buttermilk.
    I would indeed not offer that milk with fruit as an alternative. It contains quite a bit of sugar.
    What I do myself is give tea with milk to my son. He basically only gets to drink tea (with milk or extra water) or water.
    Personally, I think your little one already gets quite a lot of sweets in the form of Roosvicee. Maybe it's worth looking into whether his drinks can be replaced by unsweetened tea or just water.

    Milk isn't as good anymore as it used to be.
    You have to decide for yourself, but I always give my girls tea with a splash of milk.
    But it's possible that your body senses it and doesn't want milk anymore, since milk isn't what it used to be.
    You can find this information online too.
    It's better to give your child orange juice or tea.
    But of course, you should decide that yourself
    I'm just sharing this information.
    See what you do with it.
    It's your baby

    Orange juice (or juice in general) is also discouraged. It's packed with sugar. The

    Tea is also fine. It depends on what kind of orange juice you're using. There's also a difference. I always give them Carvan Rosvise with water. No coloring and no extra sugar.
