We gave Caden some cows milk(cold) the other night after his dinner in his sippy cup and he loved it! So we are now giving him some cows milk a few times a day, just 100mls at a time as he doesnt drink it all, and Im also making his porridge with cows milk now as well, he seems fine with it.

He is having the Karicare Toddler Milk twice a day, morning and night.]]> Fri, 12 Jun 2009 15:36:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26931&PID=702641&title=karicare-toddler-milk#702641 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26931&PID=702601&title=karicare-toddler-milk#702601 Author: happymumma

Wow cow's milk is quite a lot cheaper isn't it! I hadn't really thought about what we do but I guess if Ollie likes cows milk then that's the obvious option for us. He's a fairly good eater so nutritionally should be okay.]]> Fri, 12 Jun 2009 14:07:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26931&PID=702601&title=karicare-toddler-milk#702601 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26931&PID=701948&title=karicare-toddler-milk#701948 Author: fire_engine

I'm thinking I'm going to keep going with 1-2 formula feeds a day after Daniel's one, maybe just for the first few months. Reasons - sometimes he's a real picky eater, and he's also having a few issues around weight gain and he could do with the extra calories etc. But I will introduce milk as well cos formula is so bloody expensive]]> Thu, 11 Jun 2009 10:26:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26931&PID=701948&title=karicare-toddler-milk#701948 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26931&PID=701933&title=karicare-toddler-milk#701933 Author: ElfsMum

Ethan at one went to cow's milk (after released from Neocate) and we switched to a cup about 6 weeks ago and since then he just has one cup (200 mls) at night...cause he didn't really need it and played with it...but before that he was having one after breakfast and one right before bed.. so cows milk was way cheaper for us.. ]]> Thu, 11 Jun 2009 09:53:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26931&PID=701933&title=karicare-toddler-milk#701933 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26931&PID=701826&title=karicare-toddler-milk#701826 Author: bext1

Hey Sheza
we use Karicare stage 3 - purple one, and the boys love it, they have a morning bottle and a night bottle only now, with some cows milk or water/juice during the day. that works for them ]]> Wed, 10 Jun 2009 22:04:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26931&PID=701826&title=karicare-toddler-milk#701826 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26931&PID=701317&title=karicare-toddler-milk#701317 Author: Shezamumof3

A tin of formula is about...$18 so its not cheap at all, and a tin lasts us about a week so not long, so Im thinking now that cows milk is the way to go. Looks like Cadens drinks about the same amount as Hannah
Nana got us 2 tins of the toddler milk so we will use that up first and then start him on cows milk, but I will start him on some cows milk with his breakfast I think. He is a really good eater, he will eat most things you put in front of him lol, so no issues there!
Thanks for that Charly

And yep! 30 weeks!! Its really wizzed by this time, and I cant believe Caden is nearly one, time sure does fly]]> Tue, 09 Jun 2009 16:58:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26931&PID=701317&title=karicare-toddler-milk#701317 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=26931&PID=701292&title=karicare-toddler-milk#701292 Author: BugTeeny

Gosh, that's come around fast!
And 30 weeks pregnant? Sheesh.
Where does time go!!

Hannah had her last breastfeed on her 1st birthday
She's been on 3 x 200ml bottles of cow's milk a day.
So at 600mls a day that's 4.2L of milk a week.
Each 2L bottle is $2.89 at New World.
Costs a little over $6 per week for milk.
I'm not sure how many bottles you'll get out of a tim of formula - but that gives you an idea on milk costs

Personally, I think toddler formula isn't really necessary.
Kids that age generally should be getting everything they need from their diet.
If Caden is a picky eater, then topping him up with formula could be a good idea.

But it's personal choice, really

Caden turns one in a few weeks() and I am tossing up whether to keep him on formula or change him to cows milk.
I got a tin of the stage 3 karicare toddlers milk and he just had his first bottle and drunk it all and fast, so Im assuming he likes it! it says it has all the nutrients toddlers need etc so I thinking this might be the better way to go...and possibly cheaper than having him on cows milk?

How many milk feeds should he be having at one? He loves his milk and has a bottle in the morning before his breakfast(in bed cos its warm) and then he has another bottle around 3pm and then one before bed, he usually has 250ml a bottle. Should I just go with what he wants or should I cut his milk feeds down to just 2 a day, which is I think what plunket say to do, but I dont tend to listen too much to what plunket say lol
