Whole Milk...So Far So Good

After discussing it with our pediatrician, we decided to go ahead and start Colby on whole milk. With all of the trouble he had with formulas, we were worried that milk was not going to work, and we wanted to have plenty of time to get him adjusted to something before his surgery on August 28th. So far, he seems to be doing well with the milk...we are keeping our fingers crossed! He is still taking bottles of breast milk a few times a day, but at meals, he is drinking whole milk from a cup (with a straw, of course!). It is so crazy to me that he is big enough to be drinking milk!!!

Like other second children, Colby is being exposed to the "good stuff" before he probably should. Brody gave him a sip of chocolate milk one day, and he loved it! So, we also give him a little chocolate milk at times too. I justify it to myself by saying that it just increases the calories a little more...ha!
