Cow milk or formula?

Question

To all my mommies with 1 year old baby’s..
What are y’all giving them Now cow milk or formula still ? 
My sons pediatrician recommended this milk but I’m not sure about it? Does anyone use it?

Or should I just do regular cow milk instead?

Answer

We are doing toddler milk and later will try ripple or almond milk.

Answer

Our pediatrician recommended whole cows milk, but said we could use this formula for emergencies or if we’re out and he needs a bottle.

Answer

Just stopped nursing but have been using my freezer stash.  He'll have a 50/50 mix of breast milk and whole milk for the next few weeks.  No other reason than I don't want to waste the milk I already have!. If your pediatrician recommended this "toddler" formula could it be because they think your child needs extra supplementation? If not, just use good old whole milk.

Answer

We tried that but my son wasn’t a big fan of it, he LOVES regular cow milk and does well with it!!

Answer

As soon as I get my LO in to see the pediatrician (he turns 1 on the 24th and his check up is the 25th this week) I’m getting off the formula and switching to almond milk. 
Formula is expensive and, from what everyone is telling me, you don’t need more of it after they’re a year old. 
They’re supposed to get a lot of their nutrition from their food after they turn 1. My daycare provider showed me a chart and she was like they only need 1/2 cups of milk or almond milk at every meal and that’s it! That they can drink too much milk and miss out on other nutrients.
 I personally feel like it’s a ploy to spend more money on formula.

Answer

Breastmilk. 
She gets 2oz if cows milk once a day but she usually only drinks half an ounce, sometimes a full ounce.

Answer

🤷if your pediatrician recommended it, they probably have a reason to. does your LO eat well? what is his weight percentile?

Answer

He’s eating real food really well so we stopped the formula and his appetite increased so he’s eating even more now. And we do soy milk cause cows milk makes him gassy.

Answer

My daughter started drinking it 2 weeks ago.. vanilla flavored... she likes it but got a constipated🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I'm still nursing my son who just turned 1 but we started introducing cow's milk so I can cut back on pumping at work. I haven't talked with his pediatrician about it because his 12 month appointment isn't for another 2 weeks, but my son seems to be doing well with it.
