Toddler Nutrition

I would keep breastfeeding as long as possible. My daughter was breastfed till 2 years old. Now she drink regular milk. I try breastfeeding a month or two more then go to straight cow's milk if need to stop.

My guess is that at 9 months, your child is eating a variety of other foods, and the nutrition will be fine no matter what formula you choose.

Fat is not a 4-letter word...kids shouldn't be drinking skim milk...and I'd say the higher the fat the better because they'll be hungry less for snacky crap while they're still picky little buggers and textures, flavors & smells are too extreme for their undeveloped pallates. Formula is really too expensive to feed the appetites of toddlers. While I'm not a huge fan of our relatively recent dependence on cows (lactose "tolerance" is really the only genetic evolution humans have gone through the past few thousand years and even that's a tenuous one at best!) milk is more wholesome and nutritious than handfulls of Cheerios (even though I work at General Mills!) or Gerber puffs or yogurt melts.
