My daughter is almost 10 months old now. She has been eating solids since 4 months, and drinking juice since 6 months, along with nursing. Lately, she only has been nursing before a nap (twice a day) and before bed, and maybe 2 or 3 times at night, or when she first wakes up in morning. Well it seems now she is wanting to nurse less and less. She has been refusing it, when she used to typically want to. I always knew when she wanted to nurse cuz she would fuss and reach for me. Her doctor told me last month not to give cow's milk til she is a year old. But since it seems she is weaning herself off nursing, I'd like to start giving her cow's milk now. She really doesn't like formula at all. But maybe if I mix formula and cow's milk, she could get the nutrients she needs? One of the reasons I found not to give cow's milk is because it can lower iron, and cause anemia. But she eats a lot of cereals, and baby foods, and table food. So I think she is getting plenty of everything she needs. What to do?? She can't just keep having juice instead of nursing. Help please. :)
