10 month old weaning from formula

[~*Niadalla*~]

Thanks for your replies

Just wondering, cna I take DD to a pharmacist about her nappy rash if it's possibly thrush? Or do I have to take her to a GP? Just hate going to the GP for a 2 minute consultation that costs me a fortune (and is a 200km round trip).

DD did this also.. my thread is here somewhere... She was also around that age.

I dropped a bottle. So i went from 3 bottles to 2. So just kept the morning and night one and water throughout the day. Worked a treat HTH

Get some Daktarin (or maybe it is Daktozin) nappy cream from the chemist to clear it up - it's an anti-fungal nappy rash cream and will get rid of the rash if it is thrush. My DD had some thrush and this cleared it up.

I have a real mental blank with the name of that cream, I can never remember the name but I know it when I see it! It will be there with all the others (Bepanthen, Desitin etc etc).

Also...I'm still on my different teat/sippy cup theory...my friend's DD suddenly rejected her bottles about this age and only wanted to drink from the really cheap cartoon character bottles you get at the supermarket. Just a thought...

ETA: If she is eating cheese she'll be getting plenty of calcium. A matchbox sized lump of cheese is the equivalent to 250mls of milk.

Thanks Curly. I will get some cream next time I'm in town. Am also going to use flannels and water instead of wipes for a while.
I will try some different bottles. She has about 4 different types of Sippy cups that she drinks from so will try them all with Formula.

my DS did the samething. bang on 10months wouldnt take formula full stop. sippy cup/cup even on his weeties in the morning. so i gave him cows milk and he sculled that (around the 200ml mark X3) and was happy enough with that. i looked at as if DS was b/f and he self weaned so be it. so why cant he self wean from formula? if she's happy eating solids and putting on weight then i guess she's growing up? i just went with the flow for DS - he also has reflux - even with solids.
