I only drink almond milk.. bad?

Question

Im lactose-sensitive and only drink almond milk. Will this impact anything in terms of babies development and/or whether baby also has an intolerance to milk? Could baby become intolerant to my milk if I breast feed?

Answer

No it shouldn’t affect anything with you or with baby. Cow milk is for baby cows and isn’t a necessity for humans. Just keep a healthy well balanced diet and take your prenatals and all should be fine

Answer

I do not drink milk at all. It goes right thru me and almond milk tastes nasty.

Answer

No I'm lactose intolerant and only drink almond milk. My first is also lactose intolerant and I breastfed her till she was almost a year. She drinks lactose free milk and does fine although I can't stand the taste of regular milk anymore so I stick with almond milk. It's not likely that your child will become lactose intolerant just because you are but definitely can happen. I'm hoping this next one isn't.

Answer

Nope. I've only been drinking almond milk with my pregnancy as well. You can get your calcium intake from many other sources other than cow's milk. It's not worth ripping up your tummy over.

Answer

No and most humans are lactose intolerant so even if for some reason you baby is, it isn’t anything you did wrong! In fact if they are and you’re drinking almond milk and not dairy then your baby has a lower chance of not being able to handle your milk. Most of the time babies have issues if you are consuming dairy and they are  intolerant to cows milk. Hopefully what I said makes sense! 🙂
