Question 1

can i continue to give my one year old son formula for year one to two years.

Accepted Answer

One year : It's a usual and customary thing to stop formula at one year unless there are allergic reasons or special nutritional needs to consider to continue, but if you want to go on its a good supplement, just be careful of obesity

Question 2

one year old refusing to drink her formula?

Accepted Answer

Refusing formula : Formula is usually meant for babies under 12 months old, if your child doesn't like the taste,  you could try to give him regular milk. The biggest difference between the two is that toddler formula has extra vitamins, minerals, and nutrients. But most children don't need this supplementation and are fine with solid foods and regular milk.

Question 3

my son is one year old, should i stop using formula all to gather and start on fresh milk? fresh milk vs long live milk, is there a different?

Accepted Answer

1 YEAR OLD: When you give your son whole milk instead of formula, you are giving him the chance to eat table foods, veggies, fruits and meat products.  Formula is the complete food when they are younger.

Question 4

how much milk needed for one year old baby?how much cows milk needed?is formula milk still needed?

Accepted Answer

Some basics: Breast milk or formula is good basic nutrition for the 1st yr . After that point, formula is only "needed" for special health conditions. Cow milk is an easy source for calcium/fat/protein but should be limited to 16-24 oz/d. More can trigger microscopic intestinal bleeding &amp; anemia.

Question 5

my 1 year old baby is formula-fed. is it better to start giving her cow's milk instead? which one is better for her: formula or cow milk?

Accepted Answer

Baby feeding: If your baby can tolerate both, they will be almost the same in nutrition because most formula are derived from cow's milk and they have additives in them.

Question 6

one year old was on a soy formula and has been off for a little over a month. been struggling with constipation since. what kind of milk would be best?

Accepted Answer

2% milk or soy milk: Some toddlers do get constipated from the casein in milk, especially if they are also getting a lot of other dairy in their diet, such as cheese and yogurt.  Soy milk is ok to give, as it also has calcium and a complete protein.  He needs at least 2-3 calcium/dairy/soy servings a day for bone health.  You may  improve constipation with giving prunes, bran cereal.  Almond milk is low in protein.

Question 7

why wont my one year old eat table food yet? is it normal? he will eat a little baby food/gerber graduates gentle formula/juice...

Accepted Answer

See below.: Was your son premature? Has he had swallowing difficulties with formula and/or the baby foods? Some children do resist eating table foods because they don't like the texture, but you should speak to his doctor to make sure there isn't a physical reason.

Question 8

my daughter just turned one year old should i stop the formula and shift to regular whole milk? and how much milk should she be drinking per day(ml)?

Accepted Answer

Milk: It is recommended to switch to whole milk at one year.  The recommended amount is 2 cups a day (to provide adequate vitamin d) but not much more.  When kids are "milkaholics" they actually can become iron deficient.  I'd shoot for 2 cups (16oz) per day and stop there.  (in a cup - get rid of the bottles too.).

Question 9

instead of formula or starting cows milk, can my 1 year old have complan powder mix?

Accepted Answer

AGE 1 YEAR: Normally we recommend  whole milk or advance formula so the toddler can eat more table food and other growth promoting  nutrients.

Question 10

baby has been fed s26 lactose free baby formula (0-12 months) due to allergies since birth, just turned 1 year old, what formula can i give?

Accepted Answer

? allergies?: Hard to be sure. S26 appears to be a formula based on cow milk protein that has been broken up to where the babies body does not react to any of the proteins.If other solid foods have been added without problems it may be possible at a year to use a soy/almond or other such milk rather than formula as you expand the kids diet. Please coordinate this with his doc.
