Formula or cows milk?

[Tartyshoes]

My DS is 11 months and 1 week. I am almost at the end of a box of formula.

He has cows milk in food and has, on numerous occasions, finished off DS1's cows milk drinks!

I am wondering whether or not to get more formula, he is having a morning and night bottle and a drink of milk at lunch time, or to go straight to cows milk?

Thats about the time that I moved both of mine on to cows milk and with no ill effects whatsoever.

As long as he has a good varied diet and plenty fruit/vegetables/red meat/pulses for iron he should be fine on cows milk. Full fat though.

Cows' milk with diet as kittyfiasco says. The only real reason for using formula prior to 1yo is to ensure the baby is getting enough iron, as cows' milk rather lacks iron - so make sure the rest of the diet has a good supply of iron and vitamin C to help with the absorption of the iron.
