Hi everyone, my DD is slowly dropping a BF. She normally has 4 but sometimes only 3 BF's a day. She has 3 solid meals 7ish breaky, 12ish lunch & 5pm dinner. She drinks water out of a cup throughout the day also. I went to see my CHN the other day & mentioned that i had tried to give DD formula out of the cup just to see if she would drink it, as when she does cut back to 3 BF's i could make myself available to work if needed & DD could have the lunchtime feed out of her cup.
Anyway she would drink it but then spit it back out & screw up her face.
I thought maybe she doesn't like the formula....i don't know much about it but it smells horrible.
I haven't tried expressing any of my own milk yet to see if it makes any difference but it would take me forever!!
Anyway my CHN told me not to bother with the formula anyway as my DD is old enough to have cows milk if diluted 1/2 milk 1/2 water.
I would like to get some more opinions on this as it kind of confused me as i thought at 8months they could only have cows milk if mixed in cereal like Farex or Wheetbix???????
Any help or suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks heaps
