We visited the doctor's today for Josie's 1 year checkup and while there I heard the most lovely words that ever were uttered: "You can go ahead and switch over to whole milk now."
<angels singing on high>
Of course, this does not mean that Josie will be in agreement with this. But I am planning on giving her the option of milk, milk, or milk, so hopefully that will encourage her.
Goodbye, $25/week in formula purchases. Goodbye, regular trips to the ever-dreaded Babies R Us, since they have a formula rewards program. Goodbye, stirring and mixing and attempting in vain to remove lumps. And hopefully soon? Goodbye bottles. But one thing at a time.
Just think, we will be an average of $108.33 richer a month! Minus milk costs, I guess. But still!!
Of course, we have another baby due in 5 weeks, but if all goes as planned (does it ever) we won't have the need for formula, if you catch my drift. I am so excited!
Anyone in New England know if Hood brand milk is growth hormone free??
