Just curious how many of you have 12 month olds and older babies who are still on infant formula or have transitioned to whole milk or soy/rice milk?

We only switched Brayden to rice milk a few days ago...mainly because we think he is MSPI. The GI had us keeping him on formula until then, but he would not drink the Alimentum.

Lauren switched to whole milk 2 weeks before she turned one. We switch back and forth between whole and rice milk now.

Owen just turned 1 at the end of April, he drinks up to about 10-14 oz of Alimentum and he drinks about 4oz of enriched vanilla ricemilk. And he nurses 2-3 times a day as well.

Cady was switched from milk-based formula to 2 % milk at 12 months, and had progressively worse reactions to it, so shewas switched to rice milk at 14 months old. She takes about 24 ozs. of vanilla or plain enriched rice milk a day and she's now 16 months old.

Emma is still on Alimentum (hypoallergenic formula) and she is 15 months old. We see the GI on Monday...and one of the topics we'll discuss is the formula. I really don't mind that she's on formula, b/c Emma would drink it all day if I let her. The taste doesn't bother her, I'm just wondering if there is something (like a toddler formula) that would be more nutritious for her at this age.

She takes anywhere from 18 to 24 oz. per day, depending on the amt. of solids she willingly takes in.

James is 13 1/2 months old and is still on formula... Good Start 2 soy (I think it is called a toddler formula?). He will probably be on it for a while since he can't tolerate dairy/milk and the formula is the bulk of his nutrition right now... he is still a pretty bad eater. We hope to have more answers about his GERD after his testing on June 5th and appointment with the feeding team at the end of June.

We switched at 9 months to goat milk after eliminating every other choice (was only 6-8oz per day)

1 year & still on formula. she just tried rice milk for the first time today, but her doc doesn't want her to have to much of it since it's so low in fat.

Sam was on whole milk and formula at one year old. He was officially off formula for good at 14 months old. Now he is on whole milk solely.

Jackson will be a year this month and at a year he will get a little rice milk (just with meals to sip on) and will still nurse and if needed have Neocate 1+ formula for toddlers in addition to nursing.
