DS2 is just over 12 months old. He eats very well indeed, and s on the 91st centile, just like he was when he was born. He sleeps through, 11 hours a night, and is very easy and content.
This is what he eats most days:
Breakfast - one and a half weetabix made with full fat milk, piece of fruit and a 210 ml bottle of formula
Lunch - fish, veg and cheese sauce or similar, yoghurt, some fruit
Tea - beef casserole or similar, piece of fruit or rice pudding or custard thing
Bedtime - 210 ml bottle of formula
I don't know whether his very good diet and cows milk would give him all of his necessary vitamins and minerals ( particularly iron). Or whether I should give him formula. I can't find anything that compares the iron content of full fat cows milk with a 1 pls yr formula. The only thing I seem to be able to find is commentary that cows milk is quite low in iron, but no information as to what quite low really is!
