Formula beyond 1 year

I exclusively breastfed DD until 6mth. Then switched to exclusively formula (with solids). DD turns 1 in February - should I now just give her cow's milk and her usual food or carry on with 1yr+ formula? She is very little and doesn't eat much so my gut feeling is to keep giving her formula so at least she has more vits and mins.

I would go with cows milk. You could give her

Is her weight (or lack of) a health issue or is she just slightly built with a small appetite? If it's the former maybe you should ask a professional. If it's the latter then I would go with cows milk. You could give her multi-vit drops too if you feel she needs them.

Asked Paed about this same issue - he said if baby doesn't eat well then stick with formula. Otherwise FF cows milk.
