    We jsut had our 9 mos appt and she said we can start to offer more food and less formula.  Obviously she still needs it for nutrition but that at one year most of her calories are food related so I would not be concerened if it were me.  I am

    DS started refusing bottles and breast at 10 months.  He wanted to eat food and drink water from his sippy.  He would nurse all night to get extra calories.  He refused to drink BM or formula from a cup, so I started offering cow's milk,
