Yeah, I did think it was all just a big waste of money...stupid ads . Just wanted to make sure.
At this stage I will try to continue to do BF's morning and night, and maybe a cows milk during the day (have given him cows milk in his cereal for a couple of months now - all ok) - for the days I work (I'll be 3 days part time) and try to do a BF during the day on non work days. But if I do dry up (probably likely - as he is starting to feed less at the moment and supply has been dropping) - at least I now feel comfortable giving him cows milk alone.
Both my DD's have had toddler milk after 12 months
DD1 refused cows milk until just before she turned 2....
DD2 is still on toddler milk but this is because she never took to solids...only the last 6 weeks she has stsrted solids, so ive cut 4 bottles down to 2 now. She doent like cows milk yet either, so until she does....ill continue with FF her
A relative of mine had a terrible time getting his DS to eat anything and the paed blamed it on formula. At 18 months he only had bottles and at 2 he was only eating very small amounts and still having bottles! Then they got him off formula and he would only drink juice and scream for a juice bottle every hour because he was so used to a liquid diet.
That was enough to put me off introducing toddler milk because even though I b/f those ads do make you think it might be a good idea to feed it to your child. Especially the recent ones saying that their immune system needs to be supported till they are 3 I can feel myself being brainwashed
. Just wanted to make sure.
