When did you stop giving your dc Follow on Milk (formula)?

[hillary]

Just wondering when everyone else stopped as my dd2 is 1 next week and she has the Cow & Gate Organic follow on milk, my dd1 stopped having it when she was 2.5 (she had a cup of it before going to bed each night).

there's really no point to follow on milk imo. As long as she has a good diet, you really don't need to be giving her formula after 1 year.

Agree with what quietmouse said 100%. It's a gimick.

Switched to cow's milk just before DS's first birthday. From what I have heard, you only need follow on milk if they dont eat a good and varied diet otherwise. Cow's milk is soooooo much cheaper!

at 12 months - cows milk for DS1

contiued a bit longer with DS2 - had a mixture of cows and formula as he was very well and not a good eater at the time .

usually 12 moths though is the time to finsih the formula

My DS has follow on milk but thats because he is anaemic and waiting for a referral to have it sorted out, there's not enough iron in cows milk. Once I have a proper presciption he will be on cows milk like a shot as I'm bored, bored, bored with making the formula up.

he's 15 months

Cows milk for ds as soon as he turned one, he never batted an eyelid at the changeover

dd is nearly 2 and still on forumla follow n, cow n gate yellow, says u can give up tll 24 months. i have treid to get ehr to drink milk and she refuses it, so what can i do? but continue with formula?

I haven't started giving DS follow on milk and I don't plan to. He's 7 months, he'll have normal formula to 1 year and then I'll stop the formula altogether and give cow's milk - not a moment too soon IMO.

dabihp where do you buy the yellow one from??? its discontinued here! cant buy it anywhere! Not that I need it now though.

I changed to cows milk at a year too. I did use follow on milk but only because it was cheaper as it was very often on offer.

asda. or morrisons...
