Baby moving from Formula 2 Cows Milk - How do you transport it?

CurryKing_2

weel to be honest its nowhere specific - its just that many days we may spend say, shopping or visiting relatives out of town or such......

I suppose moving over to cows milk just requires that bit more forward planning as opposed to just being able to get up and go as we do currently with a flask and some empty bottles......

I'd suggest just weaning her off the midday milk drinks as well. (Easier said than done, I know!)

As for transport, fresh milk isn't normally difficult to get hold of wherever you are? When my little boy still drank milk during the day, we just asked the relatives/friends etc for some out of their fridge or bought a pint fresh from a shop.

At that age, the bottles/cups don't need to be sterile so we just tipped it into his own cup.

Hey Guys,

Your help is really appreciated I'll have a chat with my wife and see if we can get our daughter weaned off over the next month - the only difficulty i can imagine though is that we always give her milk when she has a nap - which is currently twice a day (+ morning + eve milk = 4 milks a day)

It'll be hard getting her to sleep without a bottle of milk - any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Drink of water pre-nap? Is the milk used to settle her for the nap or rouse her from it? My boy was quite grumpy when I dropped his daytime milk feeds, but he soon realised that he got water or nothing and is quite happy to take it now.

Another really really good reason for weaning a small child off cow's milk during the day, is that if they ever get travel sick, milk is absolutely the worst, smelliest, vilest substance to deal with if it's vomited all over the car. IMO.

My 'guru', Christopher Green, who wrote Toddler Taming, said it really didn't matter what you let a child drink while travelling, anything would be better than milk if they sicked it back up again!

My son had milk first thing in the morning and last thing at night. So we did not have to carry it around with us. We also carried in our car an emergency feeding bottle that we could use if we stayed late at friends/family so that we could use it to feed him his milk in the evening.
