	We made the transition first from breast milk to formula at about
	4 months. That was the hardest!

	At about 11 months, we made the transition from formula (SimLac or
	similar, anyway it was milk based) to 2% at 11 months.  We mixed
	the two together first in a 3/1 ratio for 3 days then in a 2/1
	ratio for a couple of days and then full-strength.

	We did not make the transition in steps because of any resistance
	from the baby.  We were just watching for adverse reactions
	( diahhrea, upset stomach, other allergic reactions); fortunately,
	there were none.

	The baby was quite happy with the real milk.  I doubt if we could
	switch him back to formula.
