Follow on milk?

[mom2ben]

My baby is 7 months on Saturday and he is still a first milk (for hungry babies). He is also on 3 meals a day. Does anyone know the advantages or disadvantages of moving on to a follow on milk? My HV has said that I don't need to but I wanted to check with fellow mums!

It's a load of crap.
Nowt but a marketing ploy.
Waste of money.

it has more iron in it

I agree its just marketing, and if fed properly your child should get enough iron from his or her diet.

also not necessary until 2 or 3 years... cows milk is fine from 12 months!
