Being Sara

We have begun Xander’s transition to whole milk. Our pediatrician said that it was ok to start at 11 months, and that he was going to start about then with his son. Since Xander is now 11 months, we decided to give it a try. The first few days, I mixed 2 ounces of milk with 4 ounces of formula, which Xander didn’t seem to mind too much. I figured we’d do that for a week or so, and then increase the amount. Xander’s day care teacher suggested that we try formula bottles in the morning and evening, and then a milk bottle in the afternoon. So yesterday, Xander had a milk bottle in the afternoon at day care, which he seemed to take well. Since the day care teacher has lots more experience with this transition than I do, I figured that taking her advice couldn’t hurt, and Xander seems to be happy with either method. I’m just so excited to see an end to the formula - it’s so expensive, and we could certainly use the extra money around the house!
