“Milk milk, milk milk”

Just a quick entry on Hannah’s milk diary.

1st-3rd month: Breast milk + supplement with formula milk (brand: Similac)

4th- 14th month: Formula milk (brand: Similac and then Mamil Gold)

15th-20th month: Formula milk (brand: Mamil Gold) + fresh milk (Dutch Lady UHT Fresh Milk)

Hannah loves milk. She gets excited when she knows that I’m going to prepare milk for her. While waiting for her milk to be made, she would get ready a cushion to lie on and grab a handkerchief to tuck it underneath her chin.

She will be switching to 100% UHT fresh cow’s milk in a month’s time once her last pack of formula milk powder runs out. We gave her milk 3 times a day: morning, tea-time and just before bed at night. Initially, she drinks about 190 ml each time. As she has been also getting her source of calcium from other foods, the quantity has come down to about 150 ml each time. Doc recommended that the quantity of milk for her age should be 400-600ml per day. So far, so good :) And she has a tummy to prove it!
