no, not vegan. my kids eat eggs. and actually, sometimes they eat butter when they ask for it. but it's pretty rare. people actually haven't been eating dairy in the quantities americans now eat it for a very long time. do some research. http://www.ezhealthydiet.com/casein-protein.html [ Reply | More

there is nothing wrong with cow's milk! sheeesh. we recently switched, just mixed it in gradually with the formula for a couple of days and it was not problem. only thing to keep in mind is that cows milk does not have the same anti-bacterial properties as breast milk so it can't be left at room temperature for as long.

that's the first time i've heard someone say with a straight face that eating pigs is good for you. i mean, come on, everyone knows eating vegetarian is healthier. Whether you want to actually implement changes in your own life and those of your kids is another matter. Do the research and come to your own conclusiosn. [ Reply | More

LOL! Pork has protein. We need protein. We also need some fat (granted, americans get too much of both) Everything is good in moderation. "everyone" does not "know" that vegetarianism is healthier. Eating a varied diet is the healthiest thing. And I have done my research and come to my own conclusions thank you very much [ Reply | More

that's not weird because animals routinely do such things to survive--eating the young of another or eating other mammals. drinking another's milk, not so much. [ Reply | More

would be the same as nursing from own mother. the only time it happens is when a mammal is clearly adopted by a mother as her own. from a inter-species standpoint, this is quite rare. fact is, they don't do it on the regular b/c it's not natural. [ Reply | More

no. I haven;t read it. I probably will not. I don't base my family's nutrition on any one study. I believe in eating a varied diet that includes everything - even fat and sugar sometimes. Variation and moderation are the keys IMHO to a healthy diet [ Reply | More

Start goat's milk early, the cell size is relative to human milk and is well tolerated and full of important nutrients. It's way to young to use rice milk as a milk substitute. Adults don't need milk-babies do; One yo is a baby, so talk to ped nutritionist-don't take my advice, decent as it is, or any other on such an important issue, from UB. [ Reply | More
