re: Breast Milk vs. Cow Milk (WIC)

I seriously put like 2 drops of choc syrup in it. No more.

Breast milk is sweeter than cow milk, so baby might prefer the slightly sweet flavor, then you can gradually decrease the amt of chocolate til your toddler is drinking plain milk.

You could also start with a cup of breast milk (3-4oz) and add an oz of whole milk. In a week, make it 3oz b.m. and 2oz milk and keep upping the amount of milk. That might be better to make baby less reliant on the sweetness.

I only did the chocolate because he drank it so RARELY that I used it as a treat from 18mo to 2 years.

I am not ready to give my baby any cows milk yet but I think adding chocolate for a treat might be fun. Like on holidays or how about his conception day! that is coming up fast ;) hehehe conception day celebration
