I have a little one that is about 8 months old. Mom started feeding him baby food/rice cereal around 4 months. I waited until he was 6 months and make him some food here, but made sure formula was still his main diet (I don't think it was at home)
Today he got dropped off with a gallon of whole milk and mom said he had switched. I was kind of taken back and didn't know what to say. I pretty much said that we would do whole milk eventually and I was going to finish the formula I had for him, to which she agreed.
I probably only have a couple weeks of formula though, and it just feels weird to give a 8 month old whole milk. I have never had a parent switch before 12 months. I assume it's a price thing, as forumla is crazy expensive... but I'm not sure what to say/do.
(I know if I don't want to give it to him, I will just tell her that, but wanted to get some opinions on what you have/would say or do)
