Hi all,
I have a one year old who has only ever drunk breastmilk or water. He has never taken a bottle and will not even drink breastmilk in a sippy cup. As I am back at work, my poor mum has been struggling to get him to drink anything but water during the day. I've been racing back most days in my lunch break to feed him but some days it is not possible. Today I gave him a sippy cup of Nestlé cerelac dairy drink that I got fromm baby expo. He loved it. What are people's thoughts on using it as a milk substitute on the days I can't breastfeed him during the day? We have tried cows milk, half cows milk half water and a few different formulas but no luck. He is a boob man through and through haha.
Any advice would be appreciated.

If it's just another drink I can't see why not...
But at over 1 year old, he doesn't need any 'milk' during the day. As long as he gets 3 serves of dairy or breastmilk he will be fine. Yoghurt, milk on cereal, cheese etc. and water for fluids he will be fine.
