Do you just stop formula once they turn one?

She will be one next week, but i have no idea what I do In regards to formula?

She's on pepti due to cows milk allergy but last time I spoke to the dietitian, I was told not to give her alpro milk just to drink (this was at 10.5 months)

Do I just one day stop giving her formula and replace it with soya milk or do I drop one formula and replace it with soya to ease her in? (She's currently on 3 8oz bottles a day of formula)

Sorry if this seems a stupid question, she's my first and I'm just a little worried ill do something wrong.

I just swapped with my lad when he run out of formula a couple of weeks before he was one and he was fine with it. If you'd prefer you could just try changing one bottle a day for now and slowly change over x

My son's nearly 14 months and he refuses to drink cow's milk so he is on toddler formula milk

My daughter was quite ill when I put her on cows milk, we ended up on almond milk, we swapped it out oz for oz, increasing every few days. Took about 2 weeks. Health visitor then told me to try again with cows milk, which I did, again really sick, so we went back to almond milk and never had a problem xx

There’s no hurry when they turn one but it is recommended. It’s up to your little one how they get on with it really, if they like it go for it or you may hVe to do it more gradually x

We basically have to wean her before she's one. Because we can't afford formula. So we use WIC. Once she hits one, WIC won't pay for it. I will probably start at 11 months slowly with dropping formula and whole milk. So by the time shes one, she will be in whole milk

It's not a stupid question at all😊That's the great thing about this app being able to ask questions and share ideas. The week my son turned 1, i started by replacing his lunchtime bottle with cows milk in a sippy cup, and kept the formula feeds to morning and bedtime in his baby bottle. Then a few days later I swapped the morning formula with cows milk, until finally he was only drinking cows milk in sippy bottle. By the thrird week he had dully transitioned and didn't miss the formula or baby bottles. All the best with it.xx

I just stopped after the Tub ran out when she turned one. W head been introducing one cup of regular milk at lunch time from 11.5 months. If I’m honest I didn’t notice any difference and she’s been grand.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help
