How many months is she happy??  Your ticker uses weeks and I have a head cold and can't figure that out right now ::)

LOL!  I haven't used weeks to measure DD"s age since she was about 3 months old ;)

Well, at 9.5 months, you could certainly give her the follow up if you have some to use up, but I wouldn't switch her to it if she is eating well :)

Mine is fine with all dairy, including milk that is used in cooking ;)  Heating about 72F changes the prroteins in the milk so even those with issues are often fine with it cooked...

Fingers crossed!

If you are worried about switching to the next milk you can give baby vitamins (abedec or wellkid). I did this from 7 months while my daughter was weaning to solids and being breastfed. Sorry if someone has suggested it already - haven't read whole thread xxx
