Forum : Mums

Hi. As far as I am aware there is no reason wht he can't have both. My son had both formula and milk and I was even advised by my health visitor to combined the 2 until he started drinking cows milk alone. I not certain but am sure I had a weaning chart from Hipp that said you could use cows milk for cooking and formula for drinking.

Thank you for that advice was beginning to think i was going crazy but its a while since my other kids were little

hi im helen i agree with the other lady my baby is 8 months old i have been combing cows full fat and formala milkfor the last two months and my baby is fine my health vistior said to that in his food but not to drink but sometimes he prefers to drink the cows milk and then i just cook with the formala so is fine to mix milk theres really no need to worry about you should have a convo with his mum and tell her about your feelings

HI, MY SON IS 18 MTHS OLD AND DOESN'T EAT VERY WELL BUT LOVES HIS MILK, TO GET THE EXTRA NUTRIENTS HE HAS A BOTTLE OF GROWING UP MILK AT BEDTIME AND HE STILL WAKES AND HAS ANOTHER DURING THE NIGHT, ANY OTHER TIME HE HAS COWS MILK WHICH HE LOVES JUST AS MUCH, THE GROWING UP MILK HAS SO MUCH MORE IRON AND VITAMINS THAN THE SAME AMOUNT OF COWS MILK SO YOUR PARTNERS EX SHOULD BE THANKING YOU!!! GOOD LUCK
