He's stopped bf at 10.5 months...

I had every intention of bf'ing my son for at least 12 months & longer if he needed to but two weeks ago he just went cold turkey overnight.
My only concern is how to replace his nutrients now that he's not getting breast milk?
Being a big boy, (97th percentile since birth) I've put him straight onto organic dairy but not sure how much is enough.
He's not keen on drinking it so I give him milk in his weet bix, a splash of milk in his vegies, baby yogurt, cream cheese on toast and I also whip fruit into organic cream for desserts.
Is it enough?
He's still gaining weight but I'm more concerned about his calcium, protein & iron.

I have three children and ds stoped feeding about the same time and both my ds stoped at 4mths I too would have loved to have feed until 12mths but I guess something must change which makes them stop. Anyway sounds like you have all your bases covered I would say he is getting plenty. but if you are conserned ask your health nurse.

Dragonfly, I know how it feels when they wean before you are ready. I hope you are doing ok.

It's not usually recommended that they have cow's milk as their main drink until 1 yo. Maybe this is why he's not keen on it, he just might not be ready. Instead of milk, he can drink water and get the nutrients from his food. Green leafy vegetables, sesame seeds, and a variety of other foods contain calcium. Also if he is eating cheese and yoghurt and having milk on cereal that can go a long way to meeting his daily requirement.

If you are worried that he's not eating enough of the right foods, there are vitamin supplement drops for infants. They can make up for any short fall and can also stimulate the appetite for fussy eaters. There are also paediatric dieticians who can help you with an eating plan if you think you need it. But it sounds to me like you are doing a great job.
