Why does a 14 month old need milk anyway?  If it's for the calcium,
supplements are available. Water and watered-down juice are adequate
fluids.  We put too much emphasis on milk as the perfect food. Remember
milk was just meant for the babies of a species. Species-specific. Most
adults are lactose-intolerant to one extent or another. Were we really
meant to drink milk past babyhood?  Your comments please.

Subject: Dairy/Soy Alternatives
 
Hello lactnetters.
 
I have permission to post the following.
 
The patient has a 14 month old with severe allergies to
cow/goat/soy/nuts. The patient has been free of these food in her diet
for over a year with good results. The child is starting to become very
active and disinterested in nursing as of late. The patient is looking
for alternatives if the child does in fact wean.
 
Does anyone have information regarding alternatives to
cow/goat/soy/almond milk? The patient has tried rice milk but her
pediatricians would like a milk with more fatty acids and fats in it. I
recommended finding oat milk.
 
Has anyone used a milk and added flax seed oil or something simliar to
make a better milk substitute?
 
Any suggestions?
