Offering Whole Milk to EBF baby
My baby used to take bottles back when she was younger but alas… for months now she has exclusively nursed. She literally throws cups of my pumped milk 😳
She takes water in a straw cup very well! She has never had an ounce of formula. She has had dairy products (cheese, yogurt etc) but no cow’s milk.
I guess it’s time to start introducing cow’s milk but frankly I’m nervous she won’t take it! And also, I’m not sure how much to even give her because I know they say to start slow because of constipation but I literally don’t know how… what do I even mix it with? Do I just mix it with water if she won’t take pumped milk & has never even had formula either?
I know she doesn’t *have to have cow’s milk* but I do think it would be helpful for some moments in my life to leave her with grandma, babysitter, or dad. As of now, she nurses in the morning, before naps & bedtime. Her birthday is this week 🥺
