Switching your 1 year old to fresh milk

[binggay]

Both my kids Enfa babies from Birth. Enfalac, Enfapro, Enfagrow, tapos EnfaKid. They stopped formula and started taking fresh milk at 5 years old na. Yung daughter ko ang payat-payat ngayon. I miss her chubby cheeks days nung nage-Enfakid pa siya.

^the reason why formula fed babies are "chubby" is because of the high sugar content and all the additives in it. hindi por que chubby e healthy. natatak na kasi sa mga pinoy na pag chubby eh cute or healthy which is not.

[binggay]

^ My daughter was never fat, she just had these malaman and to-die-for cheeks nung nagfo-formula pa siya. Ngayon kasi tinatabangan sa fresh milk so hindi ganun kadalas uminom.

Pansin ko talaga yung pagpayat niya nung na-minimize ang milk intake niya.

^milk shouldnt be the main source of nourishment of a child in the first place mas natututo kumain ng tama ang bata the moment formula milk is taken out from their diet as it is heavy on the tummy kasi. and if your baby's physique is really on the not so chubby side, hindi talaga cya magiging chubby. as parents, we should aim to train our child to eat healthy nutritious food, and not rely on those formula milks for their daily nourishment needs. tama na ang pagpapayaman sa mga milk companies

^^sis, yung daughter ko nung nag switch sa fresh milk, pumayat din and she became more active or pkayful. Kung active naman baby mo its ok, talagang part ng growing up yun na papayat.. And if you think youre giving her enough nutrition or tamang pagpapakain dont be worried. Continue mo lang. Pero kung dka padin kampante ask her pedia

^tama sis, may pamangkin ako payat talaga pero super kumain ng veggies, fruits at kung ano ano pa. Pero payat padin talaga and my brother is thin nung bata din so i really think nasa genes din yun..

[Dacian]

fresh milk muna ang baby ko since i stop breastfeeding because i'm on medication of my mumps.

^^ Sis, baka hindi payat, baka siksik siya? kasi may ibang toddlers na ang taba taba pero magaan, parang tabang hangin ata yung tawag nila dun. Tapos yung baby ko ngayon, kaka 2 lang niya, payat tingnan pero swak naman ang height at weight. Ayaw na din ata ng mga pedia (or pedia ko) na sobrang taba ng mga babies especially if dahil sa sugar-loaded milk ang nag caucause ng  taba nila, kasi magiging indication daw yun ng obesity in the future years

[Cocoyow]

^sis about ba sa dau ko or pamangkin? what i mean by pumayat sa dau ko is mejo nag overweight sya nun, and nung nag fresh milk sya umayos yung weight nya or nag lose yung weight nya which the pedia said is normal.. Dadating daw yung ganung time kasi sa toddlers specially kung nakakatakbo takbo na..

Kung sa pamangkin ko naman, payat talaga sya. Underweight naman pero ewan kahit anong kain nya nagkakalaman lang unti pero kulang padin. When shes 3yo and my dau is wala pang 1 yo magkatimbang lang sila.

my son's turning 1 soon, planning to switch to fresh goat's milk. any recommended brands? pwede ba ipost price here? kapag kunyari nawalan ng stock goat's milk, pwede naman mixed with cow's milk right?

and just a thought mommies, paano kung hindi naman nakukuha yung complete nutrients na dapat makuha ni baby sa daily meals niya? like kunyari kung hindi ako nakakapagprepare ng food na swak sa daily needed average niya. ok pa rin ba kung fresh milk? kasi usually, what's on the table, yun din ang binibigay namin kay baby. worry ko lang baka makulangan naman sa sustansya kapag hindi formula.

[Grayce]

^actually it's better to give table food to baby than formula milk kasi mas hindi matututo kumain ng tama ang bata since filling ang formula. ok lang naman ang fresh milk. my son's been drinking fresh milk (but not regularly, there are days na ayaw nya so i give other alternatives for his calcium like cheese or yogurt drinks, yakult etc) since he turned one and so far, so good

[Cocoyow]

Ok lang ba talaga na dna gawing regular ang milk ni baby? I feel guilty kasi kung istop ko na fresh milk.. Pero she always drinks yakult and eats vegetables..

[jeedeeceemee]

ang 3 year old daughter ko ang payat pero sakto lang ang timbang nya at active naman. sabi ng pedia nya ok lang naman daw 'yun as long as active ang bata. once a day ko na lang sya pinapainom ng milk ngayon. naghahanap ako ng non-dairy milk or plant-based milk kasi gusto ko na sya i-stop sa dairy. nagdadalawang isip ako sa soy milk kasi karamihan sa soy products ay GM. pinag-iisipan ko na lang na tuluyang i-stop eh magana kumain ang daughter ko lalo na sa gulay. tuwing day time, pinalitan ko na ang milk intake nya ng raw juice na sa tingin ko mas healthy kesa sa milk.

mas lalong nadiscourage pa ako painumin ng milk ang daughter ko dahil sa napanood kong documentary na Forks over Knives. Sana next month or next year tuluyan ko ng sya mai-stop sa milk.

[Grayce]

^^ok lang basta you give her other alternatives for her calcium like green leaft veggies, cheese, yogurt etc. hindi lang sa fresh milk kinukuha ang calcium naman

[Cherry143]

Sis [textspeak!] yung documentary na Fork over Knives?

I'm thankful that I found this thread. My daughter eats solid food pero picky. She'll turn 3 in February. Starting today, we'll have her drink fresh milk and encourage her to eat healthy. Ang takaw niya sa formula. She's drinking Grow and I feel alarmed because she can consume 6-7 bottles a day. She eats soild food 3x a day but only in small amounts except when her dad cooks pasta, chicken and eggs. or yung rice may sabaw ng fish or chicken curry. She's not into veggies though sa fruits, she likes mangoes and bananas. Also, she needs to stop using milk bottles kasi nasisira na teeth niya.

my son is already 2 years old na and lactum 1-3 ang milk nya ngayon. pero sabi ng cousin ko pwede na siya painumin ng alaska. but nabasa ko dito is alaska na fresh milk pinapainom nila sa babies nila.. naisip ko lang, ang fresh milk ba na tinutukoy is [textspeak!] nasa karton na hindi na tinitimpla? or okay na din naman yung powder? thank u 

[frankikay]

sisl lovelymaeve yung sa karton sis na hindi na tinitimpla. mas mabuti daw talaga fresh milk kesa sa powdered milk sis. more on sugar lang kasi yung powdered milk. baby ko nagfresh milk na siya when she turned 1 at hindi na nakabottle.  derecho sa plastic glass ko na siya pinainom or yung bottle na may straw. 2 years old na siya ngayon and so far ang takaw kumain lalo na mga cheese, yoghurt, fruits, veges at bread. siya na ang pumipili sa pagkain nya. i think malaking tulong talaga ang fresh milk na kumain ng tama ang bata.

[pinkpunk]

what's a good brand of fresh milk? i'm considering giving my 1.5 year old child fresh milk. hope moms can share their experience. thanks!

[khriseeee]

My daughter drinks pediasure now and I want to switch her to fresh milk already but her pedia wants her to stay on pediasure until she's two years old. So we have one more month to go.

@pinkpunk

it would depend sa kid mo sis. my suggestion is to try different brands. try mo muna bumili nung maliliit lang na tetra pack and you can go from there. my daughter likes emborg, milk magic, harvey fresh, alaska, and marigold. usually, pinagpapalit palit ko lang yang brands na yan. pag kasama ko siya mag grocery, i usually let her decide which brand we're going to buy. may 1 other brand pa pala kaming binibili, di ko lang maalala yung name. nasa refrigerated section siya ng grocery. pataas na tetrapack din yung packaging.
