Dropping milk feeds
Hi girls. Just wondered if anyone knows how to drop milk feeds? Lydis will now only take a bottle first thing in a morning and before bed. She screams in a morning until she gets it but is taking less and less at night. Do babies generally wean themselves off their milk? At the minute I can't see her dropping her morning feed for a while but then again I'm not surw when she should do! She is 1 on the 30th March x x

I'm not sure when they should drop the milk feeds but when she's one you can replace them with cows milk, although I don't know what I'm going to do as Riley has a suspected intollerance to dairy and I think soy as well!
Anyway, I'm just going along with Riley and will wait for him to wean himself off them. x
xkelx...as i'm sure u know ds is milk intolerant and is on soya formula, unlike cows milk 'fresh' soya milk can't be given as a main drink until 2yrs old (have no idea why but thats what it says on the carton) so he will be continuing to have soya forula as his main drink but also carryon with giving 'fresh' soya on his cereal...not entirely sure how that bodes for sterilsing etc, i'm assuming that whilst he's still on formula his bottles and cups still need sterilising and water for ff needs boiling for the extra yr, as i'm pretty sure once on cows milk theres no need for sterilising naymore, but maybe wrong...have u tried him with rice milk? obviously he can't have that aqs a main drink until one yr, possibly older as its very low in fat but might be worth considering for when he's older? xx
Sorry this has turned into a chat about dairy intollerance instead of dropping milk feeds lol!
Btw WoW Baby, me and OH used to be WOW addicts lol! x
