    EBM lasts 4 days in the fridge - would it be worth doing a pump once or twice a week, or would that give you an over supply the other days?

    If expressing wasn't on the cards, I probably would have persisted with water and seen if she got used to it after a few attempts (with our DSs, we just actually run the weetbix under the tap for a second or two, and then give it to them to eat like a big biscuit) or, failing that, tried some cows milk.

    Meh, I use milk. Sometimes REV sometimes Lactose Free. Usually Lactose Free because I make it for DD and DS stands against the couch and complains til I give him some

    When I make it for my kids, I use water and full cream milk. Boiled water to warm and to dilute the milk. It's how we make it for everyone in the family actually.

    Same as Netix. My kids won't eat it any other way.

    I used cows milk from 6/7 months for cereals, but did keep an eye on them.

    Yep. that's how I was brought up. Never questioned it til I got with DH and he thought it was weird. But he has some aversion to weetbix and refused to give it to DD for a long time until he realised she loved it and it made her sleep better and be happier and didn't upset her tummy.

    I was using cows milk for cereals by that age as well, you should be fine
