@etolkk123 Just piling on that your doctor is out of their mind wrong!
Technically excessive milk/calcium intake can cause hypercalcemia which can cause anemia, but it is pretty rare and really if there is just extremely excessive milk consumption. Between about 7-12 months my daughter was eating 3 solid meals and snacks and averaged 24 oz of formula during that time. At almost 17 months she is eating tons and will still go through about 12 or sometimes 15 oz of milk. All her anemia tests are coming back perfectly normal and she has stayed right on her growth curve.
Yes, it is important for babies to be getting a varied and healthy diet of solid foods, but formula is absolutely nutritional and that doctor sounds totally obtuse.
