That's what we did with the free samples we received and all the leftover pre-made formula. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formula-after-12-months-1#post-1369800 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:28:45 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1369800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely - our pediatrician encouraged it. No sense in wasting the formula - it won't hurt. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formula-after-12-months-1#post-1369799 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:28:34 +0000 Dandelion 1369799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most people stop formula at one just because they don't *have* to feed it to them anymore, and it's so expensive. But you certainly can give what you have left to him...it's still good for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formula-after-12-months-1#post-1369784 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:21:22 +0000 Andrea 1369784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would finish what you have </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formula-after-12-months-1#post-1369715 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:04:40 +0000 petunia354 1369715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS is 13 months and we are still using up the last of our formula! We have been mixing it with WCM because he hasn't gotten used to the taste of WCM yet. Plus, if I'm going to throw out the rest of our formula I might as well just be throwing $$ in the trash, lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formula-after-12-months-1#post-1369712 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:03:44 +0000 MrsF 1369712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sure giving formula for another month or so is fine. I would finish out the container. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formula-after-12-months-1#post-1369696 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 10:01:54 +0000 blackbird 1369696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH and I were just talking about this. Do we keep giving her formula at night when she wakes and wants food? Surely not ice cold milk, right? I figure if women breastfeed their kids at night past age 1, then there's no reason formula isn't an acceptable snack, then, either. </p> <p>Plus we aren't going cold turkey to milk right at 12 months, it's going to be a process </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formula-after-12-months-1#post-1369668 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 09:55:22 +0000 looch 1369668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did, for this exact reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/formula-after-12-months-1#post-1369663 Thu, 23 Jan 2014 09:54:48 +0000 Katrocap 1369663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS just turned one year at the beginning of the month and up until then I breastfeed him when we were together and he had some formula, some breastmilk at daycare. We've transitioned him to WCM, but still have an almost full container of formula in the pantry. I don't want to throw it out and waste it, but am not sure if it's still okay to be giving him formula until the container runs out. Any ideas/experiences to share? </p>
