Follow on milk or cows milk for 14 month old?

[Holymoly321]

DS is 14 months and for the past few weeks I've been giving him full fat cow's milk instead of the Aptamil formula that he used to have. Should I be giving him follow on formula instead? What are the benefits of follow on milk? I have been enjoying just getting milk out of the fridge instead of having to boil the blooming kettle all the time!

don't bother with follow-on milk imo cow's milk is really good for them and cheaper too. and easier.

Follow-on milk has absolutely no advantages over cows' milk if they're eating a balanced diet in every other direction. It's just a moneyspinner for the formula makers.

Cows...
The benefits from follow-on milk (certainly for a child with a balanced diet anyway) are purely financial...for the companies making it...

Cows - you may as well give your money to a dairy farmer like my dad than a multi national!

the benefits of follow-on milk are totally to the company that sells it
