Formula for 12-36 mo?

in Babies: 3 - 6 Months
I EBF.  But, while at target the other day buying wipes I stopped and looked at the formula for awhile, I guess I was just curious on cost and such.  I noticed there is a formula for 12-36 mo.  You could even choose regular or vanilla flavored. I'm a little baffled.  I understand some babies may not be ready for cows milk until maybe 13 or 14 mo. but, why on earth would a baby need formula all the way to 3 years.  Then I started thinking, and wondering if I should be breastfeeding after 1 year if I don't want Evelyn to take formula.  I'm sure I am totally over thinking this as I do with alot of things.  Can someone explain this one to me?

    From what I understand, those "toddler formulas" are just a way for formula companies to make money.  Most babies are fine going to whole milk at 1 year of age, cold turkey.

    Nonsense, IMO, barring any medical issues for toddlers.  My first never had formula - I BF for 13 months and then he had whole milk (well, mostly yogurt/cheese/etc)

    Maybe it is for picky eaters.  So if they aren't getting enough from solid foods maybe they need formula?  I've never had a toddler so that is my guess.

    Like PP said , i think is mostly for babies that are picky eaters and dont get enough nutrients from the regular food they actually eat, i think is kind like Pedisure or something like that!
