Forgive my ignorant question, but,

If it's good for babies to have breastmilk beyond 12 months, why is it bad for them to have formula beyond 12 months?

I thought that the formulas were supposed to be as close as possible to breastmilk, and presumably they are quite different to cows milk. So I'm confused by that suggestion above.

Can someone please explain?

I think its the Toddler formula (stage 3) that is bad and not necessary as its full of sugar. You can keep them on the 2nd stage if you wish, i think thats fine, but i think the reason they go to cows at 12 months is food is now more important for nutrition than the formula. They just dont need formula beyond 12 months provided they have a stable healthy diet.. plus cows is alot cheaper than formula!
