Thanks girls I might give him some tomorrow!

Should it be full cream? And can it be organic?

Yup Amber, full cream, organic even better! I have just started giving Lu some in a cup.

cool! I remember reading the organic packet and its not homoginised? is that right? i just threw the carton in the bin so cant look at it!

Should i warm it? He drinks cold water so it should be ok cold hey?

ahhh perfect timing. Im still breastfeeding my Sam (1 yesterday), but thought i might introduce milk in a sippy cup at morning tea. I will be warming it up. Just 15-20 secs in microwave, takes the cold chill out of the milk.

I don't warm anything if she'll have it cold! She had cold roast pumpkin for dinner tonight! What a cruel mum i am. I wouldn't heat it unless he will only drink it warm. Like you say, cold water and all.
Unhomogenised is fine, it just means the cream is in its natural state, not dispersed through the milk.

Great!
Ange your not a mean mum, Myles gets cold food all the time lol! He just smashes it all over himself anyway!

Maybe i have been putting it off cause i dont want him to wean yet? Do you think it will affect him?

[Junglemum]

i guess it depends. Doesn't matter what i give Lu, she aint weaning for anything! I presume in theory the more fluids they are having the less likely the are to want BM..... but i'm only guessing.

If you do heat the milk, i'd be inclined just to sit it in a saucepan of hot water for a minute rather than micro.
