Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Coconut milk has been used as an infant formula and is ok to use as long as other foods are consumed as well. Coconut milk doesn't contain all the nutrients a baby needs. You might try mixing coconut milk with cow's milk.

She hates it!! She is refusing to drink it so I tried organic coconut milk. She does a bit better with that but still doesnt get the total amount of oz she needs a day from it. I was thinking about trying 1oz of the vanilla coconut milk mixed with 3 oz of the unsweetened one to make it a bit sweeter. I was wondering if coco milk is a good sub for cows milk?

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 , no, coconut milk contains neither adequate protein nor vitamins for a growing baby, although the potassium content is high enough to cause issues. The research below points out, " Cow's milk is not suitable as a drink before 12 months of age " . Cows milk contains cow casein, a protein that is difficult to digest. Homogenised cows milk and casein-based formula is not very good for babies. Undenatured whey protein contains no casein. It is the easiest protein to assimilate by a wide margin, it contains a full suite of vitamins and minerals, and is the best food for those with compromised digestive systems, the very young, and the very old. Undenatured whey contains glutathione precursors, which milk does not; this natural " anti-infective " agent mentioned in the research below will give the baby and its developing immune system a huge head start. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21158355 If you add vitamin C, E, selenium, cod liver oil and lecithin to an uncooked whey powder shake you'd have a better formula than you can buy. The " fresh thinking on protein content " arose in the UK while making soy protein illegal in infant formulas. all good, Duncan > > My daughter is turning 1 today and I have been trying to wean her from breast feeding to cows milk.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Goat milk is infinitely more digestible, much closer to human milk than cow's milk.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Goat milk contains some casein that is the same as human casein and also casein that is the same type as cow casein, which hard to digest and creates sensitivity reactions in many people. The reaction is the most likely reason people go off " dairy " . So, cow whey is more easily utilised than goat milk because the casein has been removed. While goat milk is fairly easy to digest, whey requires almost no digestion at all. I think the removal of sensitivity-producing proteins is why whey is used rather than milk solids, even goat or sheep's milk solids, in infant formula. A baby that drinks undenatured whey is tremendously advantaged by its glutathione precursors, which milk has in only a tiny amount. Overall, an understanding of glutathione science gives one leverage to increase the family's lifespan and their wellness throughout their lives all good, Duncan > > Goat milk is infinitely more digestible, much closer to human milk than cow's milk. > > M > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Is it safe to give a young child processed food? Whey is processed isn't it?

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 I've heard that goat milk is good, too.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hi ; whey is milk that has been clabbered with acidity; there are no pollutants added, just acidity much like that in the stomach. A quick google search will tell it all. Undenatured whey is the best food one can feed a bottle-fed baby; it's perfect for undeveloped or compromised digestive systems. Formula and pablum are both processed foods, and many other foods require processing by cooking that whey does not. all good, Duncan > > > > > > Goat milk is infinitely more digestible, much closer to human milk than cow's milk. > > > > > > M > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 How about mixing some cow's milk with breast milk increasing the amount of cow's milk over time until you are giving her just cow's milk?

Ummm... weaning is the process of going from breast milk to solid foods, not to cows milk. Contrary to popular belief, weaning should be done naturally and should never be rushed or forced unless it cannot be helped... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Tanstaafl if the baby has trouble with cows MILK, the cows WHEY should be OK, and actually is much more beneficial because the percentage of indigestible casein has been removed. Or goat whey, goat milk, probably sheeps whey too but data on it isn't plentiful. all good, Duncan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weaning is generally considered the process of going from breast milk to solid foods, not to cows milk. Contrary to popular belief, weaning should be done naturally and should never be rushed or forced unless it cannot be helped... believe it or not breast feeding even to as old as 4 or 5 is not harmful or bad - except maybe for the mother once the little one sprouts teeth. Admittedly, society can get a bit weird about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed... but what would you mix it with? Coconut cream/milk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Tanstaafl: as a guess coconut milk would probably be even better than what most people mix whey powder with, milk or water. Main thing is, will baby accept it? I think with the coocnut milk in it there's probably a higher chance he will, as coconut oil itself seems to tickle the " yum factor " . all good, Duncan > > Tanstaafl if the baby has trouble with cows MILK, the cows WHEY should > > be OK, and actually is much more beneficial because the percentage of > > indigestible casein has been removed. > > Agreed... but what would you mix it with?
