Follow on milk
I'm sure this topic has been discussed before on this forum, but I can't remember what the overall view was.
Anyway Lily is 8 months old and since I stopped breast feeding at 5 months she has been on Aptamil stage 1 milk, which she seems pefectly happy with. Just wondered if by now I should really be moving her onto follow on milk as I know this is marketed for 6months+ babies. Has everyone moved onto follow on milk? Is it really necessary? Lily is established on 3 solid meals a day and has 3 x 6oz bottles a day. Thanks.

was also told it's a marketing plot as it says till 2 years old (but you only need formula up to a year old)
BUT my sister put all her LO's on follow on at 6 months as it was cheeper and you get reward points in such places as tescos & boots but not on first stage formula. i on the other hand havent changed my LO yet but as dont get the advantage of it and we had trouble finding one he could cope with and not going through all that again! lol
personally, i kept my first 2 on Aptamil (purple one), and i'll be keeping Isobel on this until she is one, then put on cows milk!
