Need input, please, on when we can stop giving formulas and what are the substitutes. Many thanks.

There's Australian articles that say that follow up fm stage 3 and 4 are totally unnecessary and play on the parents "Kia su" attitude of scared of not giving child balance enough diet so parents keep falling back on fm which is nothing more than just marked up prices with some simple ingredients thrown in. So after 1 yr is a good time to slowly make the switch for alternative - which many pple share above - fresh milk etc. by 1 yo the child shld be well introduced into solids and solids as the main way of consuming nutrients and not really milk
