Dairy- i cant bring myself to give her any

[Olive]

thanks GG!
DD1 had no issues with dairy!
we do a combo of BSL and spoon feeding with DD2, i sort of think the reason is that to me all she needs is breastmilk and why give her cows milk when i have milk, i do express some mornings for her cereal but not always

Go with what you feel I say Olive! I was the same and still am. Imogen has no dairy - aside from yoghurt. I wouldn't have given her yoghurt at your DD age either.

She doesn't need it - so go with your feelings I say!

I hear what your saying Olive, I dont understand dairy really... especially when we have the best milk coming out of our own boobies. If your DD is fine without it then why bother?

[Pinny-mum]

I have not tried L yet either, have you tried it in cooking???

I had given DS cheese and maybe yoghurt at about this age but I couldn't bring myself to give him cow's milk. DP gives him cow's milk cause I went back to work part time at 11 mnths and it was like a replacement for 'boo' while I am not here.

I really hate giving him cow's milk, I do give it to him before his afternoon nap because it's become a sleep association

Oh hun, I've probably freaked you out

Seriously though, go with your gut. If it doesn't feel right, don't do it! After all the reading I've done on dairy, I feel that we have little need for it in our diets, and alot of it is not that healthy! Your little Miss M eats like a champion, I really don't think you need to stress about introducing dairy right now .

With DD's cereal I dont use cows milk. I just put water in it (rafferty's) and add half a jar of puree fruit. DD loves it (DP calls it crud ) I havent given DD yoghut for ages. Dont think she really needs it seeming she is getting calcium from my milk. She has a tiny but of cheese in her diet (occasionally melted on vegemite toast for breaky.
Apart from that she doesnt really have any.
Just go with what you feel is right for her. Baby steps xo
