Is it ok for a 15 month old to still be drinking formula? Or is it better to give them milk?

Question

I know milk is cheaper but I want to do what’s better.

Answer

Try a parenting room. Cc is for debates, not advice and you can’t post anonymously here. I highly suggest you stay away from using the internet for these questions and instead call your/your child’s doctor

Answer

At 15 months they dont need either really. 
You’re just wasting money buying formula unless they need an extra boost and its recommended by your ped to buy toddler formula. 
They dont need to have large amounts of milk either, depending on the rest of their meals.

Answer

That sounds hella expensive

Answer

It’s not necessary after 12 months, but it’s not harmful to continue.

Answer

The norm is to switch to milk, but if you’re not concerned about cost I don’t see a problem with staying with formula.  There’s a lot more vitamins and nutritional stuff in formula I think.  My 14 month old is still using formula, I get the one that goes up to 18 months.  Also the formula helps them not to get milk rot teeth. Which can happen if they drink milk to go to sleep, that’s one of the reasons I have been sticking to formula for now.

Answer

We used formula until my oldest was 15 months.m because she hated milk. But then one night we ran out of formula and all the sudden she liked milk so we stopped buying formula.

Answer

It's okay for them to have it, but there's absolutely no need for it unless your child is having weight gain issues and isn't eating solids. But the fat found in milk is super important for their brain development.

Answer

Milk unless your doctor advises otherwise

Answer

My oldest stopped formula at 18 months cause she couldn’t drink milk with out getting the poops so once she stopped formula we went to toddler formula and she’s 2.5 and just finally started drinking skim milk with no problems

Answer

Wrong room but at that point I think you should use toddler formula. I started giving my LO toddler formula when he started switching to solids because he was less interested in nursing but wasn't liking solids or eating as much as he needed to be so I added that infor some extra nutrition.
