Still taking formula..

I give my 13 month old toddler formula
My son’s also 15 months and I give him Kendamil Goat Toddler Formula. I drink almond milk in the house but with him drinking 2 maybe 3 bottles a day, I prefer the toddler formula because of the added nutrients.
My 15month still takes formula. He is dairy free but doesn’t like the alternatives either.
There’s nothing wrong with your son! Just a preference!
I’ve no clue about it BUT wanted to say if he eats yoghurt/cheese and has milk mixed into things, then he should be getting the benefits of cows milk as far as I’m aware! They sell ‘follow on’ milk which is basically the same as formula, so I can’t imagine it’s damaging????
@Beth hey my midwife told me with my first son not to bother with follow-on milk she said there’s no difference so it’s fine to stick to the one you’re when you reach that point of moving on to follow on milk ☺️
I switched my son to cows milk as soon as I could cause I was tired of making formula bottles loool but maybe your son might like a different milk like goats/soya/oat milk instead as an alternative but also if your little one is eating things like yogurts or cheese etc they’re still getting a dairy intake
I started adding cows milk to formula and increasing over time until it was just cows milk
Try real organic whole milk. It’s a whole entirely different taste. He may even find it sweet and want it. Formula at 15 months would drive me nuts it’s not cheap. I’ve also done half and half and then 3/4 milk to formula before the full switch.
@Grace ah yes, I didn’t mean to sound like I was suggesting it! I just meant surely if they sell that, it can’t hurt to still be using formula. Follow on milk is a load of rubbish and only made because they can legally advertise it!! Haha but we EBF anyway 🤪☺️
@Beth oh my bad yeah that’s literally what my midwife said and my health visitor was that it’s a load of rubbish n that it’s exactly same nothing different 😂
@Kianna Thank you! Hmmm did your baby experience any bowel issues with the transition to goat milk?
@🌸🎀ELLA🎀🌸 And you don’t feel like there is anything bad with it? It’s not common for 1 year olds to drink formula as most transition to cow’s milk ):
@Beije How did your baby transition to Kendamil? Rough, hard? Ant side effects at the beginning?

@Rachel What do you do? Just continue formula and does his pediatrician say anything? I’m just curious!
@Jay I hope there isn’t anything wrong! I feel like I’m not giving my son what he needs as everyone else around us that we know is around his age is drinking cows milk ):
@Beth I hope it’s not! He gets non-fat Greek yogurt? So idk if that’s enough. We tried cheese and he had hives and constipation ): Why is dairy so hard to transition???
@Grace GOOD TO KNOW! I guess we can try other milks? I drink almond milk? 🥛
@Mia We tried that and no success! He knows his milk is altered!!! Idk what to do!!!!???
@Siera We tried Horizon organic whole milk and nope! He loves his formula. I am going to need to talk to his doctor and my husband once we have my son’s appointment this coming Friday. Wish me luck! 🍀
@Jenn yeah I just continue with formula, his paediatrician doesn’t say anything I actually just recently got her to extend the prescription which was due to run out end of march as it was expired.
@Jenn I give her “toddler formula” which is literally for toddlers ages 12 months to 24 months it’s like the step 3 to baby formula
@Rachel Good to know! Idk how to wean off the formula! I think I can wean off the morning one but idk about doing it night formula
@🌸🎀ELLA🎀🌸 hmmm is that another transition though? Might be a better one than cows milk?
Hi All! We saw my son’s Pediatrician today and she has no concerns with formula (especially since he’s taking less than 16oz per day). Her biggest concern was falling asleep with a bottle and to wean him off the bottle! Any advice on how to wean off the bottle?! @🌸🎀ELLA🎀🌸 @Rachel @Siera @Mia @Beije @Kianna @Jay @Beth @Grace
There’s toddler formula you can give him. I give my son the goat milk by holle for toddlers.
