Re: We need a poll about what happens when they're one...
by carrie
Funny that you have posted this, as I was going to ask a very similar question. Xavier turned 1 last Tuesday and I have been progressively reducing the amount of breast milk he receives over the last couple of months, with a view to stoppping when he turns 1 (I stopped on Saturday - Xavier has been pretty fine with it - but mommy on the other hand has cried a few times!) Luckily he has a very healthy appetite for food. On and off rather weakly I have been trying to introduce cows milk, but he has a sip and that is all and will not bother again....I have tried goats milk, jersey milk, follow on formula, I have even crushed strawberries in to flavour it - all with poor success. I am concerned about the amount of calcium he is getting (he does like cheese, eats lentils and loves natural yogurt (no sugar variety). So I think he is ok, but I can not get him to drink it for love or money. I myself can not stand milk, so don't know if there is a link, but have to admit I am at a loss of what to do - or whether I should even be worrying?!? Xavier drinks loads of water and eats very well and has a varied and healthy diet (although is acting a little fussy of late), but quantitity has never been an issue. What does everyone else think. For practical reasons I have stopped breastfeeding reluctantly, he hates bottles, I have tried sippy cups, doidys, cups with straws you name it? Sorry for the babble, but thought it sort of fit your poll type question thingy. x
