[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why didn't you switch from formula to whole milk at 1? He refused to drink milk?[/quote] Formula is designed to meet all the nutritional needs of a child. OP is smart not to make a switch and I would assume he would not drink milk (which was our situation as well). If OP child drinks enough formula, they will be fine (even if it means a bottle or sippy). They will not starve on formula. Milk does not provide all the vitamins and nutrition a child needs so it is good to supplement a diet, but not to replace food. Many kids would benefit from staying on formula longer, at least till age 2. Formula is better than ensure and children should only drink so many ensure a day (and cheaper).[/quote]
