Jennifer,
Why hemp milk? We had a mother in our most recent LLL meeting asking about
hemp milk as a complementary food after 12 months of age and none of us knew
enough about where hemp milk lines up nutritionally or allergy potential
(compared to cow milk, goat milk, soy milk, rice milk etc...) to answer her
question well.

Personally, I would suggest hemp milk if she really wants a
> better choice. IMO, the only reason that parents are told to delay nuts
> and not cow milk is that the cow milk lobby is so
> powerful--it is not good science, nor good nutrition in any way to
> advocate the feeding of cow milk to children. It's just a
> combination of common practice, the fact that many adults themselves are
> addicted to it, poor nutritional education, lots of
> marketing and huge government support.
