Anyone else not giving cows milk?

Question

I breastfeed but not as often but haven’t supplemented milk. Should I? She loves broccoli and leafy greens which are high in calcium and eats yogurt bites occasionally.

Answer

I give my son almond milk if I can’t find almond I give soy

Answer

I’m not only because my son is allergic to cows milk, doc says almond milk is a great choice as well.

Answer

I stopped breastfeeding at all a couple weeks ago. We give my son milk occasionally, but certainly not daily. He definitely gets a couple dairy servings a day though from cheese or yogurt. There are plenty of ways to get calcium without cow milk, (breastmilk definitely being one), and he's a decent eater. We're kind of going completely the other direction of what we did with my oldest, who drank SO MUCH cow milk almost until age 2.5 that she barely ate any food, and I think it was interfering with her iron absorption, making her overtired, and making her constipated. So now we kind of avoid giving my son too much dairy.

I’ve been trying to give my daughter cow’s milk, just to get her used to drinking it. She still breastfeeds a lot, and I don’t pump so can’t mix it into anything (she’s not used to drinking milk out of a bottle or cup anyway). She will only take a couple of sips here and there. Not concerned at the moment given she’s still into the breastfeeding and has yoghurt and cheese, but one day it might become an issue...

Answer

I’m still nursing. She’s almost 14m. No cow milk yet. She got a GI bug so been using lactose free products lately with cooking per her dr until her GI issue resolved. But her only “drink” is breast milk and water still.
