My BIL & his ex have a baby girl together - she is 2 weeks older than my DD2 which makes her 7 months old this week.
She has been weaned from as early as I can remember on baby rice - infact, I think my DD was little over a week old when this started. My DN is now and has been for some while eating foods that I personally wouldn't give to my children at such a young age - each to their own - they believe they know best.......
HOWEVER
........ I am now seriously concerned - BIL was here yesterday and he gave DN a bottle of milk, not formula, full fat cows milk. I asked him about this and he said she was no longer on formula, hasn't been for about 2 weeks, purely on full fat cows milk and food.
She isn't even 7 months old .
I think the look on my face sort of expressed how I felt as BIL asked what was wrong. It is their first child so I tried really hard not to do the whole I've got 2 children, I know best things but tried to explaint he reasons why babies aren't supposed to have full fat milk at that age, let alone have it solely, with no formula. I explained how much salt was in it and that too much salt can kill babies and has done so in the past.
He just brushed it aside - think I annoyed him - saying that his ex has okayed it with HV and she actualy recommended it.
I really don't want to but in but I don't think they realise the implications of this
