Now that everyone is either 1, or close too

. Whats the updates on table food/baby food/milk/boob/formula/bottle/cup?? You get what Im saying

Kaileigh is strictly on soy milk in a sippy cup. No bottles at all anymore (been over a week since a bottle) and completely on table/toddler food.

she eats whatever we eat. no milk. i gave her some a couple weeks ago and she had nasty, runny bms and a red, bleeding diaper rash. i'm going to talk to her pedi about it when she goes for her 1 year check up.

London is on whole milk in a sippy cup. No more bottles. I gave her last bottle at her birthday party. She is eating table food 100% and I no longer cut things into tiny pieces (unless its meat). She eats food better than my 4 year old!!! haha go figure....

Sophie eats what we eat, still nurses lots, I put whole milk in a sippy and she spits it out. We're going to try Goat's Milk, although I'm not in a hurry because like I said she still nurses a lot!

Caleb is the same way. He eats twice as much as Grace at every meal.

Caleb is 100% on sippy cups and 95% on whole milk...I still have some formula left that I'm trying to use up.

We have created another dustbin child

He eats everything we eat and has whole milk in a sippy cup. I weaned him off breast milk over the last month. He was having it in a bottle anyway as I worked way too much to keep up with EBF

Thanks for the link! DH is lactose intolerant and Juliana has shown sensitivity to milk protein so I've cut out all dairy. The pedi recommended either almond or rice milk. IDK why she wouldn't have mentioned goat's milk. Since I get to work from home for at least another 6 months, I'm just planning to keep nursing for a while but in a few months I might try the goat's milk.

Emily is completely on whole milk in a zippy except for one bottle at night. She eats everything we eat except hamburgers, hot dogs, steak, etc.

HAven't gotten her off bottles yet, but she's doing milk and using sippy cups too. She eats everything we eat. Have started giving her toast and sandwiches in quarters rather than bite size pieces too.

He gets 3 8-oz. bottles a day and sometimes water in a sippy cup. No milk yet. He usually just eats one meal a day and snacks still. As we start transitioning to milk we'll be adding in more meals of course, but he's still just not a big eater.

The more I have read about it, some people have even used Goat's Milk over formula to supplement their breastmilk, it's really interesting.

I was thinking that maybe it's harder to find. Whole Foods carries it, but I don't think I've seen it in Safeway or any "regular" grocery store. I actually don't think TJ's carries it either.

She's all table food, milk & water sippy cups, and breastfeeding a ton. I still haven't given any fruit juice, but think I might now.

Daffodil · #13 July 5th, 2011, 09:57 PM

I don't know what to do, she still gets 5 6-oz bottles of formula a day. She'll only sip at whole milk and doesn't eat very much.

What are you guys giving your little ones that aren't cut up into tiny bits?

I take it very slow with transitioning my babies to adult foods. I have no plans to put him on cows milk for a few years yet. We are going to try the goats milk in a few months.

Ty is still primarily breastfed. No milk. No juice. He has a sippy cup of water he does well on. I try to get him to take bottles of pumped breastmilk but he has never been a big bottle fan, he would rather nurse. He shows zero interest in table foods. I have offered several times and he gets horrid looks on his face and spits out anything I try to offer. No biggie. He still eats mashed/pureed baby food. Basically, the boy still wants boob 24/7
