My son became allergic to cow milk at about 13 months old. I have had a few doctors tell me that they don't believe kids need cow milk and they don't think it is healthy.
They said salmon bones, broccoli, etc were all great sources.
I now give my son Almond milk and he loves it and he gets Omega 3s from it. They also have orange juice that has calcium in it. Tropicana and Simply Orange have it.
There is life without cow milk. In a way you are drinking the breast milk of another animal which really doesn't make much sense.
One of the doctors was from a children's Hospital and the other was a Cardiologist. It also made me stop and wonder but I believe that cow's milk shouldn't be the be all and end all of calcium.![]()
