I missed the original post, but just want to mention that toddlers don't
necessarily need a formula if they are getting adequate nutrition from solids.
My son was one of those toddlers who was allergic to all formulas on the
market due to milk and soy allergies (elemental formulas were not yet
invented).  We switched him, under the guidance of a clinical dietician to
water only with a carefully balanced diet of solid foods.  He grew and gained
weight just fine under this plan.
