Switching your 1 year old to fresh milk

[Halee]

Since my baby is turning 1 soon, I’ve been researching for the next milk after Promil gold. Then I came across this article about fresh milk. 

http://www.chroniclesofanursingmom.com/2009/08/formula-milk-for-toddlers.html

At ngayong nabasa ko pa tong thread na to, I will definitely switch her to fresh milk.

Di ba ang fresh milk 3-4 days (or 5 days) after opening dapat ma-consume na? Yong 1 liter pack ilang araw nauubos ng babies nyo? Do you prefer smaller tetra pack or bigger one?

[sleepy_grfld]

I tried switching my daughter to fresh milk several times (different brands also) but I failed. She doesn't like the taste of fresh milk.

^^ my daughter can consume almost 1 liter/carton of fresh milk in a day

What's the difference between nestle fresh milk na nasa carton and nestle full cream milk in bottle (also has other flavors available like melon and choco).  I noticed that the fresh milk in carton has a longer expiry than the one in bottle which has variants full cream milk, melon milk, and choco. But both kinds expire in about 4 days when opened.  Does this mean na mas fresh yung nasa bottle even the ones with flavor?  Mas gusto kasi ng toddler ko ang nestle full cream milk in bottle than the ones in carton.

Mommies, nung nasa pinas kasi kami, wala akong mahanap na freshmilk na nasa bote, so Cowhead (tetrapack) ang binibigay ko kay baby.  Usually ang mga nasa Tetrapack one year ang expiry diba, then dapat consume siya 4days from date of opening, whereas ang nasa bote expiry date is 5 to 7days lang from manufactured date.  So between the two, ano ang mas okay ibigay? Yung nasa tetrapack or nasa bote?  Mas matabang kasi yung naba bote kahit full cream siya compared sa nasa tetrapack. Kaya yung nasa tetrapack ang gusto ko kaso kung freshness ang pag uusapan, parang mag okay ang nasa bote.

Gusto ni baby ng fresh milk (wala naman inaayawang food) pero hindi naman approved si Pedia nya. Kulang pa daw sa nutrients ang fresh milk, wait daw until she's two. Sabi nya rin na sa Pinas kase nakasanayan na nakaformula milk until 3yo. Ang ginagawa ko na lang kahit may formula milk sya pinaiinom pa rin ng fresh milk.

^ Actually by 1 year old onwards, your child should be getting most of his nutrients from solid food, not from milk. 

[Halee]

yes i know  anyway, im not worried about my baby not getting enough nutrients coz she loves eating (solid foods) esp.veggies and drinks her milk too. appetite is never a prob.

^^^^^ avpoohlar, yung milk na nasa bottle and nasa refrigerated section ng grocery is pasteurized while yung nasa carton i UHT (ultra high temperature) processed kaya mas matagal expiry ng nasa carton. Yung pasteurized is heated to kill harmful bacteria but not to the point na sterile siya and tatagal ng taon. Mas masarap talaga yung nasa bottle kasi may lasa pa siya na fresh and uncooked. That's why I'm not surprised na mas gusto ni baby mo yung nakabottle

[marssie]

^thanks for that infor sis MaitaOfMakeupOnDemand.  So which one do you prefer most better kaya, UHT or pasteurized?

What's the difference between nestle fresh milk na nasa carton and nestle full cream milk in bottle (also has other flavors available like melon and choco).  I noticed that the fresh milk in carton has a longer expiry than the one in bottle which has variants full cream milk, melon milk, and choco. But both kinds expire in about 4 days when opened.  Does this mean na mas fresh yung nasa bottle even the ones with flavor?  Mas gusto kasi ng toddler ko ang nestle full cream milk in bottle than the ones in carton.

Nye, halos pareho tayo ng question sis at seconds lang yata pagitan ng post natin , but for me naman, mas malasa ang nasa cartoon than milks na nasa bottle.

^ you're welcome sis marssie! Personally mas gusto ko taste ng pasteurized lang. But the  best way to determine which to buy (aside from taste preference) is kung gaano kalakas ang consumption niyo ng milk. If mabilis ang family sa milk, no problem sa pasteurized kasi you can finish it before it expires.

[avpoohlar]

thanks for the info sis MaitaOfMakeupOnDemand 

do you think considered healthy pa rin yung pasteurized milk in bottle with flavors such as choco and melon milk, considering the flavoring and added sugar they have?  how high kaya ang sugar content nila compared to powdered milk?  Are they considered healthier than the powdered formula milk or pareha lang because of the sugar content? Sometimes nauubusan kasi ng full cream milk in bottle sa grocery, so I end up buying the melon milk variant which my son loves better than the full cream milk.

I am thinking of doing this but knowing me pedia he may be against this, given his traditional approach. And also if my budget can handle it. =)

^^ Hi sis! Sabi nila mas maganda kung hindi sweetened with sugar ang milk kasi hindi maganda yung too much sugar for kids. Pero sa akin naman, if talagang the child won't drink the milk with no sugar and wala na siyang intake, pano na di ba?

[Cocoyow]

Hi mga sis! My 3yo and 1.6 months babies are drinking nestle, minsan pag wala ng nestle sa grocery, milk magic binibili ko. Ok naman sa pedia na mag iba iba ng fresh milk. I had a problem lang with my 3yo, simula nung pina try ko yung chocolate flavor, ayaw ng uminom ng milk na hndi flavored. Any advice?

Hi! I have a 20 month old son, started drinking at 16 months. My inlaws wants my son to drink formula milk para lumobo daw tulad ng isang apo. On my part, i believe there's nothing wrong with his built, baka ito na kasi talaga ang built niya, kailangan ba mataba ang bata? he is healthy, very rare magkasakit, so ano problema dun? my son still drinks feeds on breastmilk almost 90%. he doesn't eat much solids, ayaw niya ng rice. hindi ko na muna pinipilit kasi baka matrauma lang. dati nga wala kahit pancit at ulam, ngayon he eats those na, pero tipong lumpiang shanghai, lechon kawali, basta crispy na ulam. he loves sopas so much. he snacks on his favorite crackers and biscuits palagi. at the same time, drinks fresh milk as his "juice". umalis ako yesterday, naiwan son ko sa inlaws ko with his daddy. Daddy bought him Nestle Fresh Milk Hi-calcium. He only drinks fresh milk as "juice", hindi pa as dahil gutom sya and he wants milk. but yesterday, since wala ako, he drank it first before his nap. nag lunch naman din sya ng sopas prior to that. So ayun nga, kinuwestion ako, why does he drink fresh milk? sabi ko lang paborito niya po yun. before kami umalis yesterday, binasa pa yung box, *recommended energy and nutrient intakes for 7-9 years old." pag 7-9 years old lang daw ito. itry daw ang nido jr. hindi naman sinabing pang 7-9 lang tong ganto, tama ba? mali ang intindi niya, beside kasi ng amount per serving, energy 160kcal RENI 10%, protein 8.8g 20%, calcium 313mg 45% yung mga percentage is under RENI si RENI merong *. pag binasa mo yung * ang nakasulat ay recommended energy and nutrient intake for 7-9 years old nga. and diba it doesn't mean na pang 7-9 lang ito. kailan pa naging pang 7-9 lang ang fresh milk? anyway, habang sinasabi ng inlaws ko yan na mag nido jr daw kami, hindi na lang ako umiimik, kahit hubby ko hindi umiimik. pero nun nakaalis na kami, iask ko daw sa pedia ng son ko kung ok ba ang fresh milk. yun lang react ng hubby ko. ako naman, wala react. ang favorite ng son ko is yung milk magic. hanggang ngayon nababother ako, me mali ba na ayaw ko ipag formula yung anak ko. hindi ako nababother sa built niya, na hindi siya mataba. ang importante kasi sakin, eh healthy lang sya. nakakainis kailangan i compare pa. wala namang masamang effect sa anak ko, wala sya lactose intolerance, wala allergy. in a day nakaka 4-5 na 4oz sya.

ang sabi pa, kung naka powdered milk daw anak ko, wala daw problema sa pag bitbit, di daw tatapon like sa fresh milk. naka prepare lang daw yung water sa bote pati yung powdered milk. and siste, hindi nga nagbobote yung anak ko. never nag bote yung anak ko. chaka hindi naman kami nagdadala ng box ng fresh milk pag lumalabas kami. nataon lang na bumili si hubby ko nun nandun kami kaya iuuwi namin shempre.

shempre im praying na magstart na magtakaw yung son ko sa solids, pero wala eh, tanggi talaga sya kahit ano gawin ko. ginagawa ko lang now is offer kung ayaw okay lang. minsan sya naman kasi nanghihingi na din. so own pacing lang. parang yung ibang food na kinakain niya now, bigla niya hiningi sakin.

[popi]

I started introducing fresh milk to my son when he was 13months old, he's now 15 months.  Fresh milk during daytime when I'm at work, then direct feeding from me at night

I just make sure he eats well when I'm away - pine-prepare ko na food nya the night before, or minsan good for 2 days na.  Mga veggie and meat recipes, tapos hinahaluan ko lagi ng broccoli

[ishopnowfeelguiltylater]

Out of curiosity, nagresearch ako nun until what age ba talaga need iformula si baby (mahabang kwento pero tinatry ko sana icompute san ako mapapamahal, kung breastfeed o formula) tapos yun nga nabasa ko na until 1 lang pala, decided naman kami ni hubby na ganun din gawin. pero just yesterday uminom ako ng milk magic (yung choco variant), yung ingredients, sugar, water, tapos powdered milk, etc. so baka hanap ako ng ibang brand. although matagal pa naman yun, baby is just 3 months old - but nice to know may ganitong thread na dito sa GT.

[chloetenshi]

Kelangan ba cold or warm ang fresh milk o okay na yung room temperature lang? wala kasi kaming fridge eh

[daveigh]

. My inlaws wants my son to drink formula milk.

Hi sis, honestly, my son is still drinking formula, pero I am against what your in laws wanted. as long as your son is healthy, hindi sakitin at masigla you should not bother having him drink formula. Di ko din kasi gusto ang konsepto na pag nasa tamang built ang bata they already consider na hindi ok, kelangan mataba. Ako naman i wanted to transition him to fresh milk din. I am actually admiring you na breastfed sya, so wag ka magalala. You are on the right path.
