I would eliminate dairy and soy entirely and shoot for a coconut or nut based milk. While nuts do not combine with starches, in this case it’s okay because it is substantially better than dairy or soy. Go for the unsweetened versions and sweeten yourself with a little agave, raw honey, or Stevia if you like. Hope this helps!! :)

Thank you for any enlightenment!

What a great question.

Babies need nourishment in order to ensure healthy bone and brain development. However, they do not need milk and especially not milk from another species.

Milk is very mucous forming and can lend to sinus infections, chronic ear infections and even ADHD.

You mention fat. Fat is crucial to their development. Let me clarify, the RIGHT fat is crucial. 1 cup of Whole Milk contains roughly 8-10 grams of pasteurized fat. 1 cup of pureed avocado contains 35 grams of raw, nutrient dense, fat.

At about 6 months, easily digestible foods can be incorporated into your babies diet. Natalia Rose suggests starting baby off with blended melon.

Instead of milk… you can create wonderfully nourishing juices with your high powered blender or Magic Bullet.

Juice carrots and romaine and mix with avocado and/or banana.

Juice orange juice and mix with organic romaine and/or kale and mix with bananas and avocados.

RAW almond butter works too. Mix it with bananas and romaine juice.

Avoid strawberries as they are HIGHLY pesticide ridden but incorporate melons, peaches, etc.

I love Natalia’s suggestion of combining a GREEN + a SWEET + a FAT. The GREEN provides an abundance of raw, enzyme rich nutrients, the fat is wonderful for brain and bone development and the Sweet makes it tasty. As human beings we gravitate towards “sweet” because a mother’s milk contains naturally occurring milk sugar.

Do not use sweets like raw honey or agave at a young age. Use your intuition. Dark leafy greens are wonderful.

Also, make sure there are never any lumps in the baby food. Add water to ensure that the baby juice is smooth.

Goat milk can also be an occasional substitute if desired, but as I mentioned before, milk is not necessary after the baby is finished breast-feeding, etc.

I hope this helps! Thanks for your wonderful questions!

P.S. Make sure baby is getting organic produce :)

~Disclaimer, and of course, I am not a dr. Always discuss health concerns with your child’s practitioner.

Very interesting and disturbing… I’m switching to almond milk! I was wondering what you’d suggest for young children… the AAP recommends whole milk for children after 1 year of age for healthy development (bone and brain)… my guess would be almond milk, etc. lacks the needed fat content that whole cow’s milk has, so would using organic cow’s milk be the compromise until the fat content wasn’t an issue and children could be switched over to less horrific alternatives, like almond milk? Thanks and I hope other people can benefit from this question as well!

I love your statement about milk being for calves, and not for people.
