Like what Racheal mentioned, some of my friends opted to "transit" their children to fresh milk when their children are eating well. Their children are getting an adequate amount of nutrients from their regular meals. Hence, milk just act as a good source of calcium. It helped them save some money as toddler formula is not cheap. Some of them, however, continued with formula as their children are picky with their food and giving formula give my friends a peace of mind knowing that their children are still getting the required nutrition for growth. With regard to what type of milk to give, I found this article quite informative: http://singaporebaby.com/cows-milk-singapore-truth-exposed/#sthash.IleMwdXS.dpuf The general guide suggested by the website for milk suitable for children are: - Whole milk (not reconstituted). - Pasteurized. Not double pasteurized or UHT. - Non homogenized. - From grass-fed cows, failing that, pasture-raised cows (not grain fed or slop fed, although no company will include that information on the label anyway). - Hormone free - Antibiotic free Hope this helps!
