Re: cows milk
I can't answer the question about breast feeding, unfortunately, because my daughter stopped breast feeding at 2 and a half months because she was lactose intolerant and getting sick. She outgrew it, but my milk had dried up by the time she did.
When she was 1, I started her on toddler formula. It's meant for children aged 12 months to 3 years. It's made with cows milk, but it's also got extra vitamins and minerals in it that regular milk doesn't have and your child may still need the extra vitamins at this point... especially since toddlers have a tendency to have bad eating habits. They also have this in organic formula too, so you have that option.
They recommend only giving 2 cups or bottles of this a day, though, so if your child still drinks a lot of milk, organic non-homogenized milk shouldn't be a problem as long as it's pasteurized. All homogenization does is makes it so that the fat/cream doesn't separate from the milk. So you will have to shake it up before using it like in the old days. LOL
I prefer non-homogenized milk too... much smoother and tastes a lot better I think.
