WCM

Hi Mom's - 

I know many of you have beat a dead horse when the topic of transitioning to WCM has come up, so I'm sorry about this in advance. I discussed with my pedi nurse today on the method to the BIG transition should be dealt with, got that down. We discussed the several options of soy, almond, goat, coconut, etc milk. Figured that out. So now after I went to the store to purchase the milk, now my big concern is I only found one milk at the local grocery store that I frequent that has the DHA, which is the horizon brand. Its a lot more than I thought it was going to be. Now is it necessary for LO to have the DHA in the milk? I know it was in the formula he's on right now, but is it important in the milk? I'm so confused all over again.

Please help unconfuse me lol!

    Following...I also have no idea what I'm doing with WCM either, diana.  Kinda flying by the seat of my pants here since it wasn't discussed at our 9mo. appointment.
    It wasn't discussed at our 9mo either and DH and I were discussing the topic last night since I am getting down to the last of our formula. 
    Since we live in a small little town I don't have a TON of choices when it comes to milk.

    We more or less went cold turkey into milk from formula with DD. We had forgot to buy more formula and only had enough for half a bottle so we added milk to the other half and she did fine. No tummy problems or anything.

    In terms of DHA, we give her yogurt that has DHA in it instead of buying the ridiculously expensive milk that our store carries. Our doctor said that that was fine and that you get about the same amount per serving in both. Also yogurt has probiotics and other good stuff that milk might not.

    Danino. The children's yogurt by Danone but I think its a canadian company and I'm not sure if they sell it in the states, you'd have to check. We also get Activia, same company, but I'm not sure if it has DHA in it.
