My only experience with this was more than 5 years ago, when I was practicing
in Chicago. I had a young patient (can't remember exactly, but certainly less
than 6 months), who had lost over a pound in-between well child visits. Mom
was feeding him a bottle of what looked to me like expressed breast milk, but
it turned out that she had been exclusively feeding him "almond milk"-made as
described in previous posts, but with some seaweed added, for at least
several weeks. The baby had severe electrolyte disturbances (Sodium was
around 120), and an awful eczematous rash. Nutritionally this concoction is
not adequate for exclusive feedings! I don't know about occasional use, but
as previously noted, Mom has other, better options.
