when did you start cows milk??

Question

I'm starting to lose bm and don't wanna go to formula just to go transition milk. Baby girl is almost 10 months.

Answer

She will need formula until she’s 12 months. Formula/breastmilk is a baby’s main source of nutrients until their 1st birthday.

Answer

I would discuss options with your ped. Typically babies don’t start until around 12 months old.

Answer

I will sometimes add cows milk to my daughters bottle. She takes 6 oz in her 1st bottle at daycare and o froze majority of all my milk in 5 oz packs so instead of making up a bunch of 1oz ones I just add an oz of cows milk.

Answer

this is something I'll be asking at our 9 month appt tomorrow. I exclusively pump and am having just the hardest time trying to keep up. around 6 months I was down to pumping 3 times (4 if I "felt like it") but now I'm back up to 5 or 6 pumps a day and still just barely getting enough. I even had to start waking up early to pump before she even gets out of bed so I have something to give her! 😭          I've given her a total of three 4oz bottles of formula.. out of all of that she only took 3oz 😔 so if I can't produce milk and she refuses formula, I have no idea what I'm gonna do. pretty sure the doctor will just suggest trying different formulas but with only 3 months to go I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the expense. we've only used the samples we received for free so far. going to be looking into wic soon anyway but I'm sure it'll take some time to be approved and this feels like a somewhat urgent issue ☹ definitely hoping our Dr has some noteworthy insight

Answer

only some times not often.

Answer

Not sure if you answered this but Just wondering why you don't want to give her formula?

Answer

My doctor is letting me start cow milk now at almost 10 months. I only have 20 days left in my stash so he told me to mix cows milk with breast milk and when I run out of breast milk to just do cows. He wants me to be sure to keep giving him good foods though since food will be where he gets his nutrients from. I asked for him to prescribe a vitamin for my son since I’m a little uneasy about it being so early.

Answer

My dr did say depending on my son's hemoglobin count we can possibly switch one bottle per day over to milk at 11 Months, but I would ask your dr!
