[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is good for baby to not just be dependent on milk, and you can introduce solids and not bother with formula. [/quote] Their main source of nutrition should be milk- in the form of formula or breastmilk- until 1. For example, an 8-month-old needs 750-900 calories, of which 400-500 minimum should come from milk (50% or more depending on your kid). Even if they eat an egg and oatmeal for breakfast + pancake and berries for lunch + pasta and broc for dinner its not a lot of calories nor food they are getting in their mouths. Some kids eat a lot of solids and just go for it. My son liked food but loved breastmilk. It wasnt even a contest. I also experienced meditative-like states while breastfeeding but if I was meh on it or wanted to stop I probably would have started weaning earlier. Theres just no real way to avoid breastmilk/formula until 1 (+/- 1-2 months). So if you wean now its formula but I would 100% trial formula first. [/quote]
