Preschooler on formula

[Lee-Bee]

Sounds like maybe they are afraid to make changes...'if it ain't broke don't fix it' kind of mentality?

You need to decide how much it bothers/concerns you.

You can tell them if you still have to prep and serve bottles then their child stays at the price point of the infants that actually require bottles. You can just refuse to serve them anymore. Or you can just roll with it.

I would suggest a flat out meeting to ask WHY. They may very well have a reason that make sense. Or, they may just be scared to change etc. See if you can tackle the issue there before making changes. If they are not on board with a cold turkey approach suggest starting to wean off by doing part formula part milk for a while and slowly lessen the formula in the mix until it is straight milk. But, even there it is still not appropriate for a 3yr old. I personally don't like serving more than a bit of milk in a cup a day. They get enough dairy through their meals and snacks and they should be getting enough vitamin D through sunshine so we don't need to drown kids in milk. It just makes them not need to eat (tummy is full) and therefore allows them to be picky.
