Re formula, I understood there's a difference in the proteins (whey vs casein) and some extra iron. No idea what difference the proteins make, but the iron is better sourced from actual food anyway. The iron they put in formula and fortified foods (like rice cereal stuff) is very difficult to absorb, which is why it tends to cause constipation. Does it cost more than the other stuff? If so, it's almost certainly a marketing ploy.
As for toddler milk.... Milkshake in a can is how I've heard it described
It's not really formula (which is designed as a complete food to approximate breastmilk), it's somewhat fortified powdered milk with heaps of sugar added in. There is nothing in there that children can't get from eating food. Personally, if your toddler is not eating well at the 12-month mark and you're concerned about what they're getting, I'd say continue with infant formula rather than the toddler stuff.
Well done Summah! Crumpet, carrot and broccoli sticks are great to start with, just steam them till they're soft enough for her to gum.
just when i was good to go! 
But let's face it, it's not really any different to the tactics they use to sell adult food or pretty much anything else for that matter.
Either that, or I've watched too much "Gruen Transfer"
for crawling...is he still trying to perfect his form?
