Just a question. My daughter just turned 1 yesterday and I was wondering when do you normally take a baby off of formula and baby food.

I switched my daughter to whole milk when she turned 1. She didn't like it at first, so I mixed it with formula for a while. I think I did 3/4 formula 1/4 milk for a week or two, then 1/2 and 1/2 and then 3/4 milk 1/4 milk and then just milk. I think the whole transition took about 5-6 weeks, but my daughter is quite the picky princess so maybe yours won't take so long. Some kids like whole milk from the get-go.
My daughter is almost 2 and still mostly on baby food, but she has sensory issues and an oral motor delay. Hopefully others can tell you what to do with that.

My daughter switched to table food around 15 months...but she was late in starting eating solids.

With all of mine, I started transitioning them to table foods around approx. 9 months. By a little after a year or so they were fully on them. Of course it depends on the child and how well they handle textured foods, but I'd say around 12ish months is average.

Hey,
I'm not too sure about the baby food but my doctor you can stop formula at a year and switch to homo milk.
