transition
them further away from breast milk
or formula for nourishment. choosing the milk when you?re ready to begin the transition, knowing what milk is best is crucial. there are several different types of milk that the parent can transition their child to. there?s skim milk, whole
milk, and even ?toddler milk,? but choosing the right milk can be difficult. however, dr. perilloux advises, ?whole milk is the best option for healthy development of the brain and nerves in babies since it is an easy source of protein and fat.? while some infants may do better with low-fat milks or water, they are lower in protein and fats, and may hinder growth in the brain and nerves. though whole milk is the best option for healthy development, it may cause the baby to have gas. however, there is little cause for concern as the gas usually only lasts a few days as baby gets used to whole milk. deciding what to use with your milk and your time of when to transition chosen, making the decision on whether or not to ditch the bottle for a sippy cup is another concern. what?s the best way to make the transition easier? ?the bottle to sippy cup transition happen around the same time as the milk transition, at about 9-13 months,? says dr. perilloux. ?by transitioning them to both whole milk and the sippy cup at the same time, they will have an easier time transitioning if everything is done all at once, rather than having them used to one change only for them to start another process of change, making the second transition even harder.? as your baby continues to grow, he or she will eventually need to be weaned away from using a bottle, so making the transition all at once is ideal. if you are transitioning your little one soon, having these tips will help make the transition easier, and give your baby girl or boy a better and healthier future. ? d e c e m b e r 2 0 1 8 | b r p a r e n t s . c o m 2 9
