I think rice milk would be really inappropriate for a 6 month old.  Most
brands are too low calorie (15 kcal/oz), low protein (less than a gram/oz),
and low fat (less than 1 g/oz).  Most rice milk is not fortified with calcium
or vit. D, etc.

Also, someone was looking for information on allergy/elimination diets.  A
good resource is the Food Allergy Network. 10400 Eaton Place, Suite 107,
Fairfax VA 22030-2208.  They have a web page: http://www.foodallergy.org
