I started Pip off with just the crusts of the toast, he'd gum on them for ages and really enjoy it. Actually, even now Pip doesn't like salty things and isn't a huge fan of sugary stuff.

*Jumps on soap-box*
With formula, they aren't allowed to actually market formula for babies, it's part of some code somewhere. So they create 6-mth formula which *doesn't* have the marketing restriction on it and market that (what's that ad? "Breastmilk is wonderful for your baby, but after ... ") so you get the name association if you're actually looking for infant formula. And the toddler milk is able to be shown during kids' programming on teev so again, more marketing and product association. All this is because they can't advertise infant formula. Another interesting thing is that in the latest ABA mag it has that they did some studies and found that BF bubs would drink (on average) as much per feed as older bubs, just that the milk does change to their requirements as they grow. With formula, it's about giving the baby more formula to get the same benefit as they grow. But these are just my thoughts - please remember that I do FF Will, I did FF Pip, and am also a fairly cynical person at times Either that, or I've watched too much "Gruen Transfer"
