Formula milk is enriched with the nutrients, Iron, Minerals etc... (Same with Breast milk) required to help baby develop and grow in the first year which cows milk can not provide, even along side food. I know what you mean about the cost but now Ellis is on C&G Stage 3 and eating it takes longer to get through a tub. Before weaning he was drinking 5 x 9oz bottles whereas now he only has 4 x 7oz.

I've been wondering about milk in cereal! It is mega confusing isn't it?

I wonder what they did in the days before formula?

give em milk, the only reason it is so confusing now is because scientists come up with all these things that you shouldnt do just from like 2 babiesreaction to something, My nan gave my dad cereal at 9 days old because he was such a hungry baby. he's here now and perfectly fine and healthy and has a normal appetite!! lol

i've been looking into the whole cow's milk vs formula milk thing too, as i was wondering why my lo needed to be on formula for a year. apparently it's the higher salt content in cow's milk along with the other reasons ellismum gave.

It's also because cows milk is very filling, so baby might start refusing formula/breastmilk... and back to Ellismum's point.
