Hi there
has anyone tried the Cow & Gate milk for toddlers?

If so have you noticed any additional benefits or is it just a waste of time..?

Sorry no.
Love your name though - do you by any chance have a 2yo?

Stealth i have a 17 month old DS.

Starlight - i just noticed it in the supermarket today and wondered what people thought of it and if there was anything special about it. I can see it has additives, but its things like added vit C, D, etc.

Just thought i'd ask incase i was missing something!

DS is on cows milk now, very happy with it.

they should get the extra vits, iron, etc through their food so no need to buy expensive toddler milk. If you felt your lo was missing out on any vitamins then supplement with vitamin drops as they are cheaper.

I have bought it once. My DD doesn't like cow's milk yet, so I wanted to test if it would make any difference. She loved the fancy bottle but only had a bit of a taste and then spilled the rest in her highchair (my mistake to give it straight from the bottle, thou). It tastes a bit lighter than cow's milk and it has some vanilla flavour added.

Probably not worth buying it. Unless you are going to be away or something similar.

Scamtastic, if the advert is anything to go by - suggests that they need the milk because ordinary milk doesn't contain all required nutrition.

Only if they're not eating anything else...
