I picked other- I'm probably going to be doing some almond milk but mostly formula.

She still nurses a ton but we are also introducing some WCM.

I'll probably stick with breastmilk until my freezer stash is about to run out, but since I'm going to stop pumping soon that'll probably be at about 13 months. So I said WCM.

Other - BM and WCM. He'll nurse as much as he wants but we'll still give him WCM in between.

This is us too. We plan to self wean unless he is still nursing after his second birthday then we will take actions to wean, He was nursing four times a day but is back to 6ish now.

I don't have any plans to give her cow's milk because she's still breastfeeding a lot during the day. I read a great article about why it's not necessary. Here it is if anyone else is interested in reading it:

We are doing Skim, don't know if that would be considered different then whole. My Dr. told me that she is healthy and its fine to give her the Skim if thats what we drink. Same amount of vitamins but less fat.

My doc said they suggest WCM not skim because the baby needs all that fat for brain development. That said, she is very open to other types of milk (almond, hemp, etc) if we add fat in other ways (olive oil in food) so I'm sure it's the same with skim as long as they get the fat somewhere else.
