10 month old, do I still need to keep using formula?

Personally, I think anyone who recommends cow's milk is either seriously misguided or totally insane. Milk is for baby cows. Period. It has way too much fat, foreign proteins (like casein), and lactose, a sugar (which many people are allergic to for very good reason). In other words, when compared to mother's milk, it just is not good for your kids. Milk has been shown in studies to raise insulin resistance (the precursor to type two diabetes). So why risk it? Don't trust me, do some research on your own. Search "Milk, insulin resistance, antibodies" etc. (Most of) Our bodies tolerate milk, they don't need it, nor do they crave it.

No whole milk now. Her system is not ready for it. You should wait until she is over a year and if you can do first starts milk. (They are in formula cans and pretty much just like formulas except they are specially made for children over the age of one up to two years).

You still need to give her formula. Instead of continuing with the kind that she spits up ask your doctor what brand to switch to or what to try so that this won't continue. You should have done that when she first started spitting it up.

Fruits and vegetables are good for her but finger foods can be greasy, high in sugar and fat and just plain unhealthy. Give her the step 2 or 3 baby foods, baby cereal and her formula milk so that she won't have an "off" digestive tract.

Also, giving her things from a sippy cup are good and encouraged however watch what you give her. She really doesn't need that much water and the juice needs to be whole juice not concentrated or watered down. Don't give her kool-aid yet either. Limit her intake of juices as well.

Giving her eggs and things like that for breakfast to introduce her to real solids is a good start now. Just don't overdue it and watch for allergies.

You cannot just do solids. You need some sort of liquid in there too. You could do whole milk now if you'd like. If she shows no signs of it when you give other dairy, or theres no known allergies to milk in your family you can introduce it now. My sons been having 1 sippy cup a day of cows milk for about a month now and he's going to be 1 in 2 days.

usually you can start weaning your baby to 3.25 cow's milk between 9 to 12 months. you should still make her bottles with cow's milk, I think it'd be best for her system to slowly wean her like for a few days make her bottles 3/4 formula 1/4 milk. then 1/2 and 1/2 and then 1/4 formula 3/4 milk and then just cow's milk.

my son is 10 months and I'm going to keep him on formula till a year and then put him on transition formula, I'd like to keep giving him the extra nutrients while I can.

I agree with much of what the girl above said excpet the whole milk only because his belly isnt really ready to digest milk. You should maybe take him for a check up and talk to a doctor and make a plan for your baby, that would be the healthiest way to go.

Infants need formula to meet their nutritional needs until one year. Then they can move on to whole milk for another year.By two you can start on low or non fat milk.

If your baby is spitting up too much she needs to see her doctor.
