Where did everyone go?

Question

Seems like all the October moms stopped posting in this group. Half are focusing on their new pregnancy and the other half don't need advice anymore I guess lol. For the few left:
1. When they turn 12 months I just switch to regular milk and real food? I dont need purees?
2. How much regular milk do they need a day?
3. What do I do when we're out and I need milk? I can't just mix it like formula and it needs to be cold.
Which leads me to...
4. Can they have cold milk at 1? I've just been giving room temperature.

Answer

1. Start giving them tiny food pieces now, I give ones that are like half the size of my pinky nail. For taste and texture. But my son has 7 teeth. Puffs are a good place to start too. 
2. Give them regular milk when you would give them their bottle, but ask your doctor. 
3. We bought an insulated cup too. Or buy it from a restaurant and pour it in your soppy cup.
4. I have my older son cold milk at 1 and he loved it, no problem.

Answer

I disappeared for awhile due to phone issues (plus lack of time to do anything with lo demanding more and more attention!) - but I'm back!

Milk is actually not strictly necessary, and I don't think I'll give my lo a lot of it. I will plan to make up the benefits (vitamin D and calcium mostly) in other ways. Most of their nutrition should come from food after the 12 month mark. My lo doesn't really care for purees, so we mostly give little pieces of 'regular' food or big pieces of soft foods for her to eat (raspberry pancakes were a huge hit).

My lo already drinks cold liquid on occasion, so no worries there. You could always switch to toddler formula for times when you're out and about too, just for convenience.

These are all brilliant questions.... following 🤣

Answer

Hi! I haven't been on in awhile either I guess that means I haven't had too many questions lately which is a good thing lol. I'm not too sure about the milk thing but I think you slowly introduce it. I will ask at my 9 month appt just so I'll know what to prepare for when that day comes. As far as being out I think you can buy those organic Horizon milks that come individually packaged like a Yoo-hoo and you don't have to refidgerate until it's been opened.

Answer

I'm still here 🤗 not sure about your milk questions mines intolerant and breast fed. But food wise they should be on stage 2 now which is bits in purée for them to chew and for hand and finger dexterity which will help them in future skills such as holding a pen they need to be in or start finger foods. As my LO has intolerance to milk and egg we see a dietician and she advised they should be eating the same as us just low auger and salt versions And by eating same they will be less fussy in a  20month stage thing they go through and make sure they've tried peanuts i.e. Butter, fish etc...
Hope they helps

Answer

These are great questions! I need to think about these myself...
It feels great to interact with you all again. On a side note is anyone experiencing the 8-10 month progression? I've only experienced it about 4 times within the past month. It is wearing me out... 😴😴😴

Answer

Still here 😊
One year olds can and should have one cup of milk a day and up to 2 cups of water. You can give warm or cold and also various types (almond, soy, cows).
Most doctors will recommend homogenized milk, while some more homeopathic doctors lean towards soy.
If you're out and about, just pack a sippy cup in your diaper bag. That way you can always fill it with water if they appear thirsty 😊
