I just have to add my 2 cents in the almond milk discussion.  I just
happened to read a few of the nutritional information on a carton of
almond milk that a parent asked our staff to place in the family
refrigerator.  This is not being fed to an infant by the way.  The first
three ingredients were: purified water, almonds and cornstarch.  The
caloric value was 40 calories for one 8ounce serving (= to 240mls) and
the protein in the 240ml was 1 gram.  According to Lawrence:
Breastfeeding-A Guide for the Medical Profession, mature human milk has
70 calories per 100ml and 0.9 grams of protein per 100ml.  What a
significant deficit in just the two comparisons.  In no way are the two
comparible.
