Just asking but why did you move onto stage 2? X
@Justyna it's OK to offer cows milk in food, but shouldn't be a main drink until they are 1 x https://solidstarts.com/milk-milk-alternatives-for-babies-toddlers/
How long have you been on number 2 milk? We switched and didn’t notice a change in poos at all. Could be she just needs an adjustment period, speak with your HV about how long it should be but from top of my head I think it’s 3 days xx
@Jess if her HV is judgy asking for advice from them won't be a good idea remember they tell us to stay on stage 1 there's no need to go onto stage 2. ...
@Rhiannon I think it’s each to their own, sometimes they love to see a ftm coming and treat them completely different to a stm. We’ve had the same HV for both our children and I still don’t like her but this time round she just answers questions instead of telling me what to do. If the original poster is happy to be on number 2 milk she just needs advice on the change nothing further xx
Might just take a little adjustment. There's nothing wrong with moving onto stage 2 milk, equally nothing wrong with staying on the stage 1, personal choice. It's because there's usually very little nutritional difference between them - follow on milk is like a loop hole companies use because legally they can't advertise first infant formula, but they can advertise "follow on" formula so it's how they get around it!
As far as I am aware they shouldnt have cows milk until 12 months old. You can find out more on app Solid Starts.With the follow on milk I read it should be introduced slowly, we are doing 1-2 spoons of new formula and the rest of old formula but we just started a few days ago. Will be increasing the amount of new milk every few days.
