I live in France and everyone here is advised by doctors to give kids from about 12mths on "lait de croissance" (literally growth milk), special milk with extra vitamins and minerals and some (doubtless evil) vanilla flavouring. I'm just curious to know whether such a thing exists in the UK: when I left over 10 years ago perusing the baby/toddler aisle was the farthest thing from my mind. I can't think it's really necessary to give them such souped-up stuff and wonder whether the fake vanilla taste doesn't encourage a sweet tooth, so I've been contemplating switching to ordinary, albeit organic, milk for DS (18mths). Any feedback would be welcome...
