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...

Toddler Refuses milk...need a Calcium Supplement Recommendation

My 17 month old dd will NOT drink milk, or have cereal with milk in it, cheese, etc. Not even fortified OJ (she won't drink juice, either, but I'm okay with that). She will eat one Yobaby yogurt a day but that only satisfies 20% of her RDA of calcium. What is a good supplement that can effectively get her the 500 mg that she needs? I would love one that is not necessarily "mainstream" (something from the internet or Wholefoods) but I am willing to look into anything. Thanks!
