Is it absolutely necessary to switch to cows milk once LO turns 1? Any moms stuck with breast milk?
@skylarskeeper526 if you could pick one of the 2, which would you pick? Do you prefer almond? Or, do you give your LO what she prefers at the time?
I give my daughter Almond Milk, and the occasional 2% cows milk
@ashleydunn YES tell me about it. Thank you for your advice. I truly needed it.
@kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom that makes perfect sense. Giving DD what she prefer is better than trying to force her into something she hates. Saves money and avoiding the "no" lol. Thank you!
@beebaby great! I will definitely look into coconut milk; I love those. Thank you 😉
To be quite honest if I bought any other kind of milk it would go to waste- my husband, and both kiddos LOVE cows milk so we just stick to that. I don't drink any form of milk so we would rather not buy anything that would potentially go to waste.
@ashleydunn is almond milk more beneficial? I think as long as LO is developing properly without any complications or concerns; weight shouldn't be a issue
Soy milk has more fat then dairy milk
Hemp and coconut milks also a great alternative and have more fat than dairy
@jasholbert lol sometimes I just want to respond "my daughter, my choice"... Which is why I prefer a lactation consultant preference than the PCP
@kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom I totally do want DD to have more fat in her diet. Is there a reason you chose cows milk? Is it more beneficial than almond?
@jasholbert @beebaby @ashleydunn thanks mamas for your support; DD PCP kept telling me to switch to 2% when DD turns 1. I am more comfortable with breast milk. Thanks you gals, LOTS 😉
I'm still breastfeeding my almost 2 year old, but he also gets cows milk. I think it's a personal preference thing. My tiny tot needs more fat in his diet and I think cows milk helps with that, but if your little one is thriving on breastmilk you can totally stick with it longer! Don't let your kiddo's pedi talk you out of it if they try.
And when the doctor says something say, why would I switch from my breast to a cows breast?
Just seen a chick on offer up selling 12 mo old baby clothes, bottles and (gasp) baby milk! 5 cans for 10 bucks each. They damn near 30 in the store !!!!! Now is a bad mom? Idnt think so 😝😝😎

Happy World Breastfeeding Week! Please share your breastfeeding stories and tips!
Hi everyone! @kimberlyyyy_the-preemie-mom here. For today's chat we're going to talk about breastfeeding and pumping in honor of World Breastfeeding Week! Both can seem complicated or stressful, but remember you have lots of support here! With my first son I had things going against us for breastfeeding.
I wish I knew back when he was younger that we could have still tried! With my second...
Can we have a serious discussion? We can argue the topic all we want in the comments. I’m not afraid of a little heated discussion, haha! No reporting views that are different than yours. TOPIC: COWS MILK. 🐄 Do you feed it to your children? Do YOU drink it? For me, it’s devastating that so many support an Industry that is a known horror show. The mother cows are forced to reproduce, their babies are taken away with in the first hours of their lives, and the boy cows are either sold for mea...
