thanks Emma for the feedback on milk and iron.....I guess I don't need to be so worried about the dairy from straight milk then. I plan to switch to cow's milk once she's one - that's the only reason I'm doing soy now. Of course, it's just 3 weeks away - so then I think I'll drop that mid day feed, she's fairly uninterested in it as it is now.
Lynds - Abby takes water and milk out of sippy cups - I use the disposable kind, its the only one she wouldn't bite.
should I start switching her to a regular cup?
