2 Year Old Still Chewing Everything

My almost 2 year old (will be 2 in a week) still chews on everything!! I noticed about 3 months ago that this was not normal as most of his peers had already outgrown this. I didn't worry figuring he'd still outgrow it...just later. But now it's affecting his schooling. He got "demoted" from his new classroom because they work with small objects and they are scared he'll choke! It's terrible because I know and they say he's mentally ready for the next class...but this chewing thing keeps him out. Furthermore, he was having small...

He will drink his bottles like they are going out of style as many times as he can during the day and will throw tiny fits unless he doesn't have his bottle (whole milk of course), or get whiney until we give them to him. He will eat some foods (cheerios, pastas of every...

Weaning My 6 Month Old

I plan on starting to wean my daughter after she turns 6 months old next week. I have about a 3 months supply of breastmilk frozen and plan on pumping until my supply is gone, however, I figure I will have to supplement formula as well. Does anyone have any suggestions for a good formula to use that is closest to breastmilk?? Also, has anyone had success with combining breastmilk and formula in the same bottle? --MORE INFO--My ped recommended starting my daughter on solids at 4 months and we have worked our way up to 3 meals a day on...
