Did you give your over 1 year old child formula? How did that go?
Did you BF and supplement with formula?

Nope no formula, Seamus never had any (other then the cup that the nurses in the hospital gave him without my permission when he was in the incubator) he went to whole milk at 11mo(doc orders)
Kieran had to be supplemented at first due to how much weight she lost, one of the pedis in our office said to supplement with formula and it tore me up, she refused it though (we cup fed it to her) and only ended up taking at most 1.5oz we ended up supplementing with my pumped milk and it worked.
Her pedi wants me to mix formula into any mushy foods she eats to help her sleep at night but she doesnt' eat mushy stuff and she'll be 1 in 2 weeks so I think its pointless I could just give her whole milk before bed, but I'll wait a few more weeks and just keep letting her sleep with me. She's been sleeping 4-6hrs straight if shes laying with me.

Dustin was BF by me (hahahahah who else??) but had formula from MIL when she was watching him (after 6 months, I pumped till then).
Neither of my kids have gone past 1 year on formula though. They went/are on whole milk, HOMO!

Bahaha no 
It's homogenized milk, 3.25 percent. We call it homo milk. Well no, I don't call it that, I call it whole but hubby takes joy in calling it the homo milk.

LOLOLOL.....Homo Milk...sillies!!!
I can't remember when we went to Whole Milk. It was either right after or right before she turned one. She didn't like It at first so I had to do 1 OZ milk and the rest formula and add more as time went on. I still have her on Whole Milk and probably will for a while since she's not a "good eater"..

LMAO Steph!
Amara's never had formula. She's on goat's milk now due to her cow's milk allergy.

Josh still has formula only b'c I didn't start introducing whole milk (mixed w/ formula) until 2 days before his 1st bday. When we're done w/ the can, that's it.
I had to supplement and BF. He refused to BF till he was a month old. He self-weaned around 7 months because he got a nasty sinus infection and was teething. I pumped and supplemented till he was a little over 11 months old. Then my best pump broke so I just quit.
Yeah...who cares, right? I'm terrible about not abbreviating my thoughts and telling every little detail!
