    G is still drinking formula every time, he is also not letting go of the bottle any time soon. He is drinking formula for 1 year and above, sometimes with vanilla flavor because DH takes the wrong box...

    We are doing half infant half toddler. She does not like the toddler one by itself. I smelled it an tried it and I don't blame her. She maybe be on formula for life.

    Went from bf to soy milk at 14 months. Didn't use formula ever. I put bf to wcm because that's close enough.

    @Audrey1787 I don't know if it's true or not, but a good friend of mine told me that it's not good to give WCM to children under 4 or 5... he gives almond, rice and other types of milk to his children... as G doesn't really drink normal milk I haven't bothered researching, but he said it can cause kidney stones... however I see that most mamas here give WCM and I know my ladies do their research so I'm doubtful... anyway, don't know why I elaborated so much on the almond milk thing... monday morning blabbing

    He hasn't had formula since a little after he turned one and the last container was gone.

    SS - still BFing, and generally had refused anything but water when I tried to switch her to WCM when I stopped pumping; now drinks maybe 2oz WCM/day, but only out of a specific cup.

    Addie never had straight formula, but I supplemented from around 5 months with it. She refused it mixed in around 10 months, but I couldn't pump enough BM, so I started supplementing with WCM. She was completely transitioned to WCM by one year.

    We did just give up the last bottle before bed about a month or so ago. It was harder for me than it was for her!
