My daughter will be 1 on 20 January and at the moment I'm BFing her 3 times a day - when she wakes, 3pm-ish and bedtime - with water to drink the rest of the day.


I want to get her used to taking a sippy cup of milk for the 3pm-ish feed before she starts with her childminder at the beginning of February.


I was planning to start this in the new year so she's got time to get used to it and doesn't associate the change with Mummy going back to work when she'll have enough other stuff to take on board.


Do you think it's OK to go straight to cows milk or should I do formula till she hits her first birthday and hope she doesn't mind the swap from BF to formula and then to cows milk in quick succession? She already has cows milk on her breakfast cereal, so she's used to the taste, whereas she's not really had a lot of formula.


What would you do?

I would go to cows milk. Thre reasons for not having it as a drink pre-1 as I understand it are mostly to do with it having insufficient nutrition (but swapping out just one bf at this point can't be that harmful) along wth some possible effects on iron absorption/possible allergy that must be related to how mucy cows milk is taken in total.

      Rules re under 18s being in pubs?

      By Sue · Posted

      It does depend on the pub. The Ivy House, for example, does not allow under 18s after 8pm, accompanied or not.

      Can anybody recommend a good local plant nursery or garden centre?

      Observer published by Tortoise 🐢

      No. I’ve read the Guardian and the Observer for forty-odd years but I haven’t bought a printed Observer this century; I only read them online. I haven’t bought a Saturday Guardian for at least twenty years and have bought a printed weekday Guardian twice: once when it went to a berliner format and once when it became a tabloid, just to see what they were like. I might buy an Observer one Sunday this summer to see what it’s like before it inevitably disappears for good. I subscribe to the Guardian but there is zero chance of me taking out a separate subscription for the Observer. It and the Graun have been declining in standard for a long time and are ever more padded out with lifestyle crap rather good reportage and analysis. My Guardian subscription has gone up 20% this month but its worth to me is lower than it has ever been.

      I do like the Nunhead Gardener.  Shannon's was cheaper but that is academic.  Garden Centres have not benefited from Brexit, one reason that Shannons closed. The wildlife centre is good for native hedging, fruit trees and bushes and the like, and worth a stroll down to in any case.
