thank you yw that makes more sense... I hope she appreciates my boring bedtimes and hours spent doing the menial boring jobs when she is older (we have a lot of fun too - we've just come back from running through leaves with A in the park
)
GT I feel your pain. I used to think nothing of walking miles and miles. Today I did half an hour and am knackered.
My question from last night, sorry in advance if this is long. I'll try and break it down!
I've been having a battle to get her to drink formula. She is getting a 6oz bottle at bedtime which she drinks all of, and 6oz at breakfast, which she usually either throws away entirely or leaves at least 1/2oz. She is offered another two 6oz bottles throughout the day but is completely leaving them. This has been on going for the past 2-3 weeks and I had put it down to teething. Over the weekend she has refused ANY of her morning milk (regardless of whether it is given before/after/with breakfast). So she has only really been getting 6oz max a day. Which I know is really bad. (I've been filling her up with yoghurts and cheese to compensate - sorry dairy free-ers!)
So this morning, I thought fuck it, and gave her cows milk. (she is 2 weeks off her 1st birthday). In a bid to save time she usually gets a cup of milk with a bowl of dry cheerios and either orange or apple segments to eat while I empty the dishwasher and sort the dog etc.
Anyway, cows milk = an absolute success!! She drank the lot, forced her cup into my hand demanding more!
So, should I offer her cows milk with lunch and just have formula for bedtime until I've finished the last 3 tins we have? Do a complete switch to cow's milk now?
And if the latter, how much milk should I offer her? And should I be supplementing with any vitamins?
Sorry if this is really obvious and/or already been covered.
