| I think all formula is yucky - I don't know why Tyler still prefers formula to lovely creamy cows milk |

| i only got the formula to see if it was more ummmmm breasty for sleepytimes he does love normal milk though, but hes still having none of the bottle so i will have to get a better plan just 2 suse, one at naptime and one at bedtime - although he did start pulling my top up while i was asleep looking for 'nini's' which i am currently combatting.....i read an interesting article and it said 'would you be able to sleep well if you were right next to the best restaurant in town, and it was always open and free?' which i thought really illustrated one of the reasons eli is still not sleeping through. my main reason for not wanting to bf just now though is he is teething again (chewing.......) and im really not producing very much milk since af came back, so it seems like the right time, but i do need a plan. anyway as i said theres an open packet of formula, the scoop and a sealed packet sat here if anyone wants it after my lovely review |

| Ah right, the only thing I can suggest is to cut it back slowly - just going to one feed a day then obviously none.
Libby stopped BF at 13 months and didnt have any milk as a drink from then on and she's fine.
If he's happy having cows milk then brilliant! Would he maybe have it from a cup in the morning or at night? he may then not want the breast milk |

| he will drink milk from a beaker but this is his 'milk' cup http://www.tumtumtots.com/products/catalog/tumtum-tiny-beaker.html he looooooooooooves it if he can swipe it off the draining board he will and run and get the milk from the fridge.....yeah i don't think he needs milk at all (not bf, formula or more cows milk, he drinks over a pint even before yogurts etc a day), i just thought it might be a nice 'replacement' in his routine?! ugh i dunno im going to read my new toddler sleep book hahaha |

| Yeah he's obviously having it as a comfort thing and becuase its routine, it'll be tough to break it so good luck! |

| thanks, i don't mind bfing him at all but a) its getting really sore atm, b) he doesn't need it at all and c) its getting time consuming when he doesn't need that amount of parenting....i realised that at the moment im spending about 22 hours a day with him |

| i think the hipp one is the worst. we tried it and Immi hated it. Maybe its something to do with it being organic? Cow and gate much nicer. |
