Time to Buy a Cow

As we transition from infants to toddlers, one of the change s is switching from formula to regular milk. Enfamil formula has provided balanced nutrition along with whole proteins similar to breast milk, but now the solid foods in their diet provide those vitamins adequately. We are hoping the twins will tolerate this change all at once rather than gradually. So far their only complaint has been the temperature difference of cold milk compared to the room temperature of mixed formula. Warming it slightly helped that issue. The price of formula runs about three times more per gallon than regular milk, so there is a cost benefit to this change. This is significant when you consider that each boy drinks about a half gallon of milk a day. Add the milk used on mommy and daddy’s morning cereal and we project purchasing eight gallons a week.
