best follow on milk?
Could you let me know what brand your lo's have for their follow on milk. My lo is 5 months old and on SMA Gold at the moment. I've been told Cow & Gate is very good by other mums - a lot of them didn't rate SMA for some reason.
Do you give the milk to your lo as soon as 6 months or is it best until they are weaned properly and on 3 meals a day?
I'm a little bit ahead of myself here as not even started weaning yet, but I don't want to leave things until last minute, also would rather ask other mums than ask hv as mine preaches a little! :roll:

i think if your lo is settled on the one they are on, leave them on it until switching to cows milk when one (as long as they can have it if you know what i mean!).
the only benefit i think there is to follow on milk is it is cheaper?
my lo is on aptamil extra (purple one!!), the other 2 had it, and they are both healthy kids - normal weight, height etc.
My sister's friend had the same trouble and she switched to Cow & Gate and said when she tasted it it was much nicer than SMA (she said it had a "twang" to it!!??). And her lo loved C&G follow on milk so that's whats made me think about changing just to see if she would enjoy drinking her milk more too. I suppose I could try her on cartons first if I do decide to change just in case she doesn't like it. I've got a while yet though. There's always something to think & worry about when you have a baby isn't there!! You get one thing sorted and something else pops up!
mmmm decisons?!!!!
also keep meaning to get goodnight milk for last feed to see if will help fin get through till morning without waking...
