Should my husband and I give our son the Enfamil next step lipil or whole milk?

Question

our son is one year old and we are wondering which one would be better for him

we don't want our son getting pesticides and bovine growth hormone

would our son be ready for soft cheeses? what do you recommend for a one year old boy for snacks and meals?

he's getting tired of baby food

Answer 1

i do not blame him, he is one, ready for everything you eat, except peanut butter and honey, give away your baby food, he is a big boy now, he does not need the next step, but i do recommend infant vitamin drops

Answer 2

Most pediatricians recommend switching to whole milk at one year. You can use any alternative form you want, but it needs to have a high fat content like whole milk. And put it in a cup. If he doesn't like the milk at first (my older one didn't) you can try warming it up or mixing it with a little strawberry syrup.

My younger daughter is 19-months. We've done the Gerber Graduate veggie puffs and of course zwiebach. Unless you are concerned about nut allergies, you can start offering a few crackers with a thin spread of peanut butter. Unsweetened apple sauce, shredded cheddar cheese, yogurt, toast with jam (no sugar added) or peanut butter, and little pieces of shredded lunch meat or chicken have been big hits around here. You can also start planning your meals with something he can eat like cooked soft-cut carrots (cut up), peas, potatoes (mashed or cut up).

Continue to follow the three-day-rule for awhile longer so that if there is an allergy you can isolate the offending food.

Answer 3

you can switch to WHOLE milk (look into organic). Also almost anything you can eat he can too with the exception of honey (wait till 3). Just make sure its cut up into small pieces. Also with high allergy food introduce them 1 at a time and wait a day or three to see if he has a reaction.

Good luck and Happy feeding

Milk is fine at 1 year. Though I like to give mine Rice Dream till their 18 mon. old because it is softer on the tummy. You can find it in the health food section of a grocery store. It's non-soy rice milk.

Cheese is fine. Get a food processer to just blend the foods you eat, and your baby will love it. He'll get used to the table foods you prepare if you do that.

Answer 5

start to intorduce milk slowly, 2oz in an8oz bottle of formula. see how he tolerates it, then increase. If you are concerned about hormones ect use organic milk.

at age 1 he can eat most adult food as long as it is cooked soft and chopped small. Diced meats and soft cooked vegis, shredded cheese, scrambled eggs.

Answer 6

after your son is one, it is highly recommened to start him on whole milk. This is not to say that you should not give him formula. But now is the time to start weaning him off of it. Best of wishes!

Answer 7

consult a physician first. you should slowly introduce anything new, as a sudden change in diet might give him belly cramps and an upset stomach. Some people just do this or that, but I feel the best thing is to ask your baby's pediatrician

Answer 8

Answer 9

you could pass forward with cows milk I switched to that distinctive formulation whilst he became into approximately 10 months yet as quickly as the checklist gave me the ok for cows milk I did it because of the fact it became into extra low-fee!

Answer 10

I used goats milk...

Benefits of Goat Milk:
It's Fresher
Available within 48 hours after milking to ensure the freshest product possible. Freshness is associated with a high level of bioactive components naturally found in unpasteurized milk.
It's Safer
There is no antibiotic residues, growth hormones, BST, or other contaminants used on the animals. In addition, the mechanical pasteurization process used for cow's milk releases xanthine oxidase, and enzyme which can create scar damage to the heart and arteries.
The goat's milk product must meet the same health standards as pasteurized cow's milk.
Goat milk does not contain the complex proteins that are the main stimulants of allergic reactions to cow dairy products.
Certain cow milk proteins have properties, which suppresses the immune system. Goat milk does not have these immunosuppressive properties.
It's Easier to Digest
Smaller protein molecules and fat molecules with thinner and more fragile membranes in goat's milk allow it to be digested easier than cow's milk.
Lactose Intolerant?
Easier digestion allows the lactose to pass through the intestines more rapidly, not giving it time to ferment or cause an osmotic imbalance.
Goat's milk also contains 7% less lactose than cow milk.
Additionally, most lactose intolerant people have found that they can tolerate goat's milk and goat milk products.
Goat's Milk Soothes the Digestive Tract
Goat's milk has long been used and recommended as an aid in the treatment of ulcers due to its more effective acid buffering capacity.
Children on goat's milk have been observed to sleep through the night and remain more satisfied between meals.
Goat's Milk is an Alkalinizer of the System
Goat's milk has an alkaline pH, so it does not produce acid in the blood or intestinal system.
Acidic blood and intestinal pH levels are associated with fatigue, headaches, muscle aches and pains, sore pressure points, excess weight, blood sugar imbalances, and Candida Albicans infections.
Goat's Milk Contains twice the Healthful Medium Chain Fatty Acids
Goat's milk contains a higher content of medium chain fatty acids (ie. capric and caprylic acids) which are used to inhibit Candida infections. These medium chain fatty acids are immune and energy enhancing.
Goat's Milk Does not Produce Mucous
Goat's milk does not stimulate an immune response as cow's milk does, so there is no mucous formed.
Goat's Milk is a Rich Source of the Trace Mineral Selenium
The trace mineral selenium, which is often deficient in the human body, is necessary for its immune modulation and antioxidant properties. It helps control the human immune system and works directly on viruses by preventing reproduction.
Goat's milk contains the highest source of selenium of any milk (2.5 time more than powdered infant formulas, 35% more than pasteurized cow milk, and more than human breast milk).
Mother Nature is very Clever
Natural milk contains many bioactive components, which serve to retard the growth of harmful organisms, and to protect the health of the person consuming them. Goat's milk contains the same important bioactive components as mother's milk.
