I have a 7 month old girl. My wife had quite a traumatic birth (forceps) and our baby initially had jaundice so we were told we had to give her formula to prevent the jaundice getting worse. So my wife's supply never properly came in.
We are currently weening but it doesn't look like too much of the food we are feeding is being eaten (more played with, tasted and spat out). So the majority of her calories are still coming from formula.
It's really difficult to find any non-awful formula. The current formula we have has 9g sat fat to 19g unsat fat per 100g!
So my question is how quickly can we make goats or cows milk the main source of calories and get rid of the awful formula? The google consensus seems to be around 12 months but this answer is no doubt paid for by the formula companies. I think the top answer on google actually says if you switch to cow or goat milk you risk them not getting enough iron. This sounds very anti-peat and suspect to me.
Or if people think continuing with formula is still best and know any decent formula brands please let me know. We're in the UK, which is also why I'm considering goats milk more than cows milk as I think all of the cow milk here is A1
