I'm still giving my dd formula milk rather than cow's milk. She is 19 months old. My reasoning for this is that she is a faddy eater and I thought that because formula milk is vitamin enhanced it might make up for some of the inadequacies in her diet.
Also I don't like the taste of straight cow's milk and assumed that my daughter might not either (whereas formula is quite sweet tasteing) - and I didn't want to switch her to cows milk and risk her not wanting it at all, thereby her calcium intake would get a big hit.
Anyway dd is looking slightly podgy - nothing major, just 'solid'. Could it be the formula ? (she has 21 fl oz over a 24 hour period)- I understand that it is quite high in calories?
