Would it be better to use formula milk than cow's milk when making a cheese sauce?

Baby is just starting solids. I know I can use a small amount of cow's milk in cooking, but was thinking formula milk would be better to use. I can do this, right?Would it be better to use formula milk than cow's milk when making a cheese sauce?
Cow's milk is fine if you are cooking with it. I used the Annabel Karmel book and somehow had time to read it (looking back I'm not sure how I managed that!) Anyway it had loads of bits of info like that in it.Would it be better to use formula milk than cow's milk when making a cheese sauce?
I have a baby book that says you can cook with either but to be honest I wouldn't cook with formula - with all these rules about pre-preparing it and not being allowed to let it stand etc, I wouldn't trust it - especially when I make up batches of food %26amp; freeze it then warm it - if that were straight formula it wouldn't be safe so how can it be safe in cooking?





Cows milk in cooking is fine for babies - its not that cows milk is bad for babies that means they can't drink it until they are one - it simply doesn't contain the right nutrients is all.





I cook using cows milk %26amp; my little Moo loves my cheese sauce!
If baby's only just starting solids, cheese sauce is really rather a sophisticated thing to be feeding him - and you're talking about tiny amounts which would be a pain to make. Once he's eating more food, and has tried both cheese and whatever flour you plan to make the sauce with, it really doesn't matter either way. I mean, both the cheese and the butter in the sauce are likely to be cows milk based anyway.
some cows milk is ok before a year, oh for those of u who disagree i dont care if u give me a thumbs down your just being stupid. Anyway i have given my daughter who is 7 months, we give her mash tatoes, samll things of ice cream if we have some, 3 or 4 baby spoons of it. If we make something that has milk in it we dont make it different because she will be eatting some or make it special for her.
I wouldn't cook with formula. It has a lot of really weird qualities. I mean, I haven't tried it, so perhaps someone who has can weigh in. I have mixed formula into pre-cooked food instead of milk, but just before giving it to my son.
go for the cows milk, now your child is on solids, she/he should be having all the foods we eat, so the cows milk will do no harm.
whole milk would be better. small amount are no harm as long as its not replacing any bottles of formula:)
Id use cows milk
dont do that, i dont have any scientific back up, but that just doesn't sound good to do...
I would use cow's milk. And have done with both my children.
