Hi Ladies! I need some advice. I've been exclusively pumping for DS for the last 10.5 months. He is going to start daycare in mid-November (at 1 year), and I will also be going back to work. I plan to stop pumping before heading back to work. I have a few questions:
What do I give DS after breastmilk? Should we go to formula? He is not the best solids eater, so I fear he wouldn't be getting a lot of nutrients if we were to just give him cow's milk in place of breastmilk. Would formula be better for him than just cow's milk (until he starts eating better)?
How did you transition from breastmilk to formula and/or cow's milk? Do you slowly mix one or the other with breastmilk? Or offer them separately? How long did it take to make the transition? Not quite sure how to proceed.
Thanks in advance.
