Hello Netters,
" A doctor in our area told a breastfeeding mother of a four month old
that if she needed to get away and feed the baby something besides
breastmilk, she
could feed almond milk.  You soak almond overnight in water, peel them and
then crush them and strain them through cheesecloth. "
When I coordinated the Chicago Milk Bank, I had moms feeding all sorts of
things to their babies.  When you have a baby allergic to everything but
breastmilk, the moms and Drs. become very creative.  I do remember some Drs
recommending almond milk.  This, I think, because it was natural and one of
the least allergenic.  I did have some moms feeding this to their babys and
did OK.   Breastmilk is still the best and always will be.
