Skipping whole milk?

Question

What are the reasons mom's are skipping whole milk after baby turns 1? Seems to be a growing trend to substitute with some other kind of milk, not cows milk. What are your reasons and what will you be giving instead? 
My daughter is only 5 months so we're not there yet. I'm just curious for the future.

Answer

My niece isn't completely lactose intolerant but for some reason she gets an upset belly from milk so she was switched to almond milk. Has a lot more calcium too ☺️

Answer

Cows milk is for calfs not human babies. It's full of hormones and antibiotics and other crap.

Answer

Lactose intolerance would be a good reason. My son was on soy formula and did just fine with cows milk though. He is 6 now and drinks about 6 glasses of milk a day. I think people should definitely try it just to see how it goes. It is great for nutritional reasons and helping keep the fat packed on.

Answer

Lactose intolerance, ear infections, stomach problems.... 🤷🏼‍♀️
My 1 year old loves her coconut milk 🍼

Answer

We skipped whole milk after trying it. My son got SUPER sick and spewed every time he had it. He's four now and does just fine with whole milk now.

Answer

I don't plan on giving cow's milk because I plan on getting the nutrients to her in other ways. Not necessarily a milk substitute, can be done with food as well. As long as they are getting what's recommended!

Answer

It's not natural. She is not a cow. Animals do not need milk after mothers milk.

Answer

My one-year old son has a severe allergy to dairy (anaphylaxis) so we obviously aren't doing cows milk haha. He's also allergic to nuts so those alternatives are out. The allergist also advised us to avoid soy and goats milk until he is older. He can have coconut milk but frankly I'm not thrilled with the high sugar content. I'm very fortunate to be able to still breastfeed throughout the day even though I'm back at work, and I have a big freezer stash that he's happy to drink if I can't be around... so I guess that's the plan for now!

Answer

I would happily give my children goats/sheeps milk if only they drank it because it's more nutritious but I have no idea why you'd find be them a substitute.

Answer

Simply cuz it is not needed :)
