Ok so DD self weaned 2 weeks ago (long story) which was completely unexpected. We are booked to leave o/s 1 day after her first birthday in June. She is now on formula.

Soooo the big question is : We are going for 6 weeks so do I take formula with us (which is a hell of a lot to carry for that time frame) or do I try her on cows milk beforehand even tho it isnt really recomended before 12 mths and see how she goes on that? I dont want to try her on cows milk for the first time when we are away in the event that she has a reaction/upset tummy.

Incidentally we are going to the UK, Croatia and Dubai where I can get pasturised milk from all of these places. In Croatia I would be very limited to the types of formula I could purchase and wouldnt want to try her on anything new.

So what would you do? Lug 6 tins of formula (all the more room for shopping on the way home!!) or try her on cows milk beforehand?
