Q: Milk?
asked by: Eyes Wide Shut on April 17th, 2007

Ok, so .oni turnes a year on the 22nd(this .sun)!!!!

Well, I've been letting her have sips of milk, to see if she'd like it.

So today, with her breakfast, I gave her whole milk, instead of formula. When lunch time rolled around, I gave her her formula. SHe took 2 sips and threw it. She was totally not interested in it!! At alll!!!

I pretended to drink it (usually works), and she took about 3 more sips and wasn't interested.

I gave her some regular milk, and she suuuucked it down!! with the quickness!!!

I've been giving her her formula ice cold for a long time now, so giving her her formula cold isn't an option. As it's been done...

SO, my question is, should I just let her have it? I mean, I was concerned she wouldn't like it, because of all the stories I've heard on here, and I was *totally* wrong!! SHe *loves* it!

I wouldn't be too concerned about giving her whole milk now if she likes it..she'll be a year old in just a few days. As i recall, one of my kids switched to whole milk at 10 mos. old and all has been fine that way

I don't see how 5 days would hurt anything. She's taken so well to new foods and all....I think she'll be fine. Especially since she likes it, and she eats table foods anways and not relying on just milk/formula for nutrients

Maybe try mixing it 1/2 and 1/2 with the formula. Since she'e had it and it isn't causing her any problems, why not?

I'm sure others with have opposing opinions.

She is a doll!

That's what I'm thinking too!

Cindy, I'll try mixing the formula, just so it doesn't go to waste. But, I look at it like, what's 5 days???

I voted for "yea I would" when I meant to vote for the other one.. I re-worded the question in my head and "yes" seemed like the right answer Neutral

Yeah I'm a lil retarded.

Anyway... yeah I'd give her the whole milk now, especially as she seems to like it so much! They used to say babies could have it at 6 months, so that's when I was given it.. and then they changed it to 12 months. But 5 days really isn't gunna make a difference!

just make sure she is eating healthy...because milk doesnt contain enough nutrients in itself. thats why im keeping Trace on formula for at least 15-18 months, cause he doesnt eat to the point where he can get all his nutients from solids.

She eats *great*! SHe looooves *all* of her veggies!! Especially beets! lol..weird I know!

But her veggie intake is amazing. And they're 95% fresh 5% canned(low/no sodium-I'm a freak when it comes to reading labels)

She gets major nutrient intake as she eats cheese, veggies, fruits, eggs, etc.

Michelle, you're avatar looooks goooood!!!

Is this just a random warning? Confused

Have we got the .Kia-bot on shift today with random commands...?

Sarah, I would just give her the moo juice - my son started on it around the same time as .Oni and he's had no problems, I can't see how a few days are going to make any difference.
