What is the algebraic formula?

Parents: What do you think of a 2.5 year old who still drinks formula and ONLY formula?

  • I babysit for a little girl named Angel who’s mom only gives her toddler formula. The girl hasn’t ever had any kind of food; no baby food, toddler food, OR regular table food, I just find it strange, as her mom feels she is too little to have anything but formula. Angel drinks 10 ounces of formula ever 3 hours during the day, and so gets 50 ounces of formula a day. She is healthy although a little on the small and skinny side, but her mom is small and skinny too so it could partly be genetics. I am curious what parents think of this and if anyone has ever met another parent who was like this, thanks!!!

  • Answer:

    Wow I have never heard of this its crazy, the little girl needs regular food she is old enough to eat a lot of different things and she actually needs to eat other things for nutrition reasons. Formula is not given to nourish them when they are that old her body needs more than what its getting. Personally the mother sounds to lazy to deal with giving her real food cause its easier to give her a bottle (which is not good for her teeth either) someone needs to speak up to this woman she is letting her daughter be malnutritioned.

It seems neglectful to me.

Id consider that chold abuse. That child should have started on food around 6 months of age

Only other one I've dealt with was 3 and refusing to eat only drink milk. Dr's said after examination, to only give 4 oz milk at all 3 meals, and offer all kinds of alternate foods(colors shapes and textures). Kid was one of my sitting jobs. Ran into her and Mom at age 8, kid was in accelerated classes and strait A kid. Kid had parents buffalowed, in this case parent is being silly!

After 1 a child should be drinking milk, and eating table foods. Formula, especially if served from bottles are bad for the teeth at this point. It sounds like child neglect and you need to report it.

I think it is pretty weird but if she is healthy then there is nothing you can really say. I mean, I feed my 2 year old cookies and unhealthy things all the time.
