Cow's milk

LO turned 1 and the PD suggested that we switch to fresh cow's milk or UHT instead of FM as FM has more sugar. Anyone has made the switch? And how did you go about arranging using fresh milk as compared to giving FM powder when going to IFC?

Quite common for paedias to recommend switching to full cream cow's milk after age 1 if your little one is growing well and eating a balanced diet 😊 If your child has been on formula for a while, a gradual transition can help. Some parents start by mixing a little cow's milk with formula and slowly increasing the amount over a week or two. For childcare, many centres are able to store and serve cow's milk during milk feeds, so it usually just comes down to following the centre's requirements for bringing it in. Most toddlers adjust surprisingly well once they get used to the new taste! 💛
