Hi All,
I should have said "verbal beating" not oral. Hey, I'm in Israel, am I
supposed to know English...

Subject: almond milk for a five week old
Hello Friends,
Yesterday I got a bit of an oral beating from a mother that I am working
with for not knowing that "almond milk is scientifically proven to be the
closest thing to mother's milk." She heard this from a well known
mommy-guru in her very natural community. I told her that perhaps it is the
closest non animal milk and that I would check. I did come across a long
thread in the archives but with no real conclussion. Could it be that
almond milk is the closest non-animal milk to human milk? This mother must
supplement. Her baby nurses 3 to 4 times a day from other women. Besides
that, and nursing her herself, she has given her organic formula, raw goat
milk, hemp milk and almond milk. She stopped with the goat milk since it
made her baby smell bad and she ran out of hemp seeds. The baby is 5 weeks
old. Is it a problem to give her almond milk in conjunction with all the
mother's milk she is getting? Is there a better non-formula substitute
(besides donor milk which she is already using.)
She won't believe me anyways but I still have to do my part. (Her husband
wouldn't believe me that the reason the baby was below birthweight at 4
weeks was not just because the neighbors had stopped providing meals after 3
weeks!)
Thanks in advance,
All the best,
Chayn in Israel IBCLC
