Nearly One on to cows milk or Follow on? I haven't a clue

[Chocolatepenny]

My DS1 is nearly one and I'd like to move him onto Cows milk but I'm not sure if I should try Growing up milk etc first .
He's on stage 2 milk atm Arghhh what to do?? Does anybody have any experience in this area?

[dirtygertiefromnumber30]

yes, just put him straight onto cow's milk. Growing up milk is a rip off imo!

Hi There

Both my boys moved straight on to cows milk. I kind of added some to each of their bottles, reducing the amount of formula until it was all cows milk.

I think that as long as they are betting a balanced diet that follow on formula is not required. Infact I think it is just a way of making money for the formula companies

[Chocolatepenny]

Yes I thought that..Its just good to know other people think so The claims on the packet are confusing!

ditto cows

[Chocolatepenny]

will it upset his stomach at first? he has dairy products but never milk or cream

[TheMadHouse]

Have you cooked with milk. I am sure that he will be fine

[dirtygertiefromnumber30]

what about on his cereal?

[Chocolatepenny]

I still use formula

[dirtygertiefromnumber30]

ah. you can use cows milk on cereal from 6 mnths btw.

he'll be fine though, maybe introduce it slowly like madhouse says.
