Why Choose Organic Formula?
Milk continues to be an important food for growing children in the first few years. Organic formula, made from certified organic milk, is a healthy way to supplement the nutritional needs of active toddlers as they grow and develop. Formula made from certified organic milk is produced in natural way without the use of growth hormones (GM), antibiotics, synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
Toddler formula should be used in conjunction with a healthy, balanced 'solids' diet. If used in this manner your baby could be on this diet until 2 years old if she chooses.
In the weening process you could start replacing or reducing formula with either goats or rice milk and start using a sippie cup.
* Tip - if you are wanting your toddler to eat more solids start by reducing the amount of milk intake, try dropping a bottle feed.
Has anyone any other advice that may help? Any tips for weening?
