My 13 months old daughter has now been drinking cow's milk! I have slowly switched her from formula to cow's milk, however she is now waking up @ 5:30am in the morning? Any advices? She does not go back to sleep, I have tried giving her milk, water and even letting her cry!

What can I do next?

What else is she eating? At this point she should be eating three meals and snacks as well as having her milk. Perhaps if you load her up during the day then she won't wake up so early to feed. How long is she sleeping at night? If she is sleeping 12 hrs then it is normal to wake up early wanting to eat. I usually wake up starving after sleeping for 8hrs.

We had to start giving our son a small snack before bed because he was waking up earlier too. About a half hour-hour before bed we let him pick something small to snack on (cheerios, pretzels, crackers, etc) along with a cup of milk.
Hope this helps,

Do you have good room darkening curtains? The sun comes up WAY to early these days!!

Have you tried a Step 2 Formula? They have them by Enfamil, Similac & even generic brands like Parent's Choice at Walmart. If you give that to her at night, warmed a little, it should help her sleep better and it's also a good way to make sure she's getting enough vitamins and nutrients.

I had a similar problem and we ended up giving our daughter some food before her bed time. This seemed to help her out.

good luck!!
