Milk on the go for 1yr old?

[katerose2022]

DS is turning one year old in a few weeks. At the moment when we take him out we pack Aptamil liquid formula for him to drink before naps. As we plan to transition him to cow's milk, just wondering what kind of whole milk product we can bring for going out please? Thanks for any tips and advice!

What does this even mean? My nearly 3 year old loves milk and I often pack a lunchbox with an ice pack in it and a little carton of milk with a straw. Why wouldn't I?

OP, you can just bring a cup of milk with an ice block in a lunch bag, or a pouch yoghurt (brands like grahams dairies have no sugar or sweeteners), or some cheese snacks. If we're not bringing a lunch box out with us we go to a cafe and he has a cup of milk or babyccino with his lunch.

That would have worked for my older two but OMG my youngest - his milk is his comfort. He was bloody obsessed with the boob as well

Of course many BFing Mums will be feeding their 1 year olds when they're out and about but then it's so much easier than transporting and keeping safe

I had the same thoughts but never actually needed any, she stopped breastfeeding in the day by 13 months old so I offered that and/or a snack and water. then after she started refusing breastfeeding, as she'd always have milk or yoghurt with breakfast and a cup of milk at bedtime, and generally cheese in a meal I thought that was enough dairy
She didn't ask for milk however so I didn't have that hurdle, she enjoyed it but didn't need it for comfort she likes her soft toys

So milk is his dummy for many it effects what they eat so can mean they lack other essential nutrients and can impact speech as chewing and manipulating foods strengthens muscles and promotes speech.

Essentially yes, but luckily he eats loads too so it's not a massive issue for us - and I know through experience with my other two kids that they tend to drop such comforters between about 2/3, so I don't stress too much about it!
