Weaning, now what?

[Emma`s mommy]

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!! GOOD LUCK!! How about Goats milk? Emma has been able to tolerate it in small amounts, she cannot have whole milk....i know , a tough call, since she is only a month away from turning 1!!!

I have heard about success with Goats Milk. From what I understand it is the closest thing to breast milk. However, it generally needs to be fortified to get all the necessary vitamins and iron.

That's a good tip about goat's milk! It's worth a go...also, I'll see if I can get a fortified version. We see a pediatric nutritionist this week - she may have some input too. I'll let you know if I hear of anything from her - I'm sure that I'm not the only one wondering about this one. Afterall, quite a few GERDlings have MSPI too.

Maybe if you do a very slow wean - adding tiny amounts of formula to breastmilk over a period of a good few weeks - she will not notice that she is now drinking (objectively yucky) formula. That's what I did when the Dr recommended soy formula for Sam. I gave him a bottle, and he completely refuse. But two or three weeks later he was drinkingt hat same bottle perfectly happily, because I'd made the change so subtle and gradual. Good luck!
