Baby nutrition

Question

Hi mummies.. Need some advise here. My 13 month old baby is quite small size since birth and has been on the lower percentile. She was full term but just small size. She takes 3 solid meals per day and is on full breastmilk. Eating wise not a very good eater. She gets full fast and does not consume much too. Otherwise she is healthy, active and hitting milestones well.I am thinking of transitioning from breastmilk to fresh cows milk during the day for my baby and continue to latch at night. Which will be better nutrition wise and for her to gain some weight? Fresh full cream cows milk or UHT milk? My daughter completely rejects formula. So that isnt in the option. Thanks in advance for the advice :) #1stimemom #firstbaby #advicepls

I use Marigold UHT full cream milk, which my daughter likes, and I can also buy in bulk since it’s UHT. Now I usually buy the 1L packs, and finish one pack within 2 days (but that’s if you allow your LO to drink cold milk). When my daughter is sick, I give her the smaller packs, so that the milk’s not cold

fresh or UHT are both fine, but fresh milk has to be refrigerated and probably have to warm it up if you want to give your LO warm milk. it is also not so convenient it you want to bring fresh milk out. UHT will be more convenient. they are available in small packets like 100 to 200ml and don't have to be kept in fridge.
