This may partly be due to the fact that formula takes a long time to
digest.  It stays in the stomach for 3-4 hours (compared to breastmilk
which is about 2 hours).  Once the amount of formula (or milk) between
meals is decreased, the appetite for other foods is increased.  Also,
kids tend to drink smaller amounts when they are switched to a cup than
they previously drank from a bottle.  The trick is to get them to eat
nutritious stuff :-)
