Poop Talk...Passing on educational info to parents

[5 Little Monkeys]

I'm exhausted tonight and might have missed this but....have you or can you decrease the amount of milk and dairy he has with you during the day? I have a child with a milk allergy right now so the parents send his food and milk everyday. I just give him milk once a day and send the rest home.

I also had a child with a milk sensitivity but I supplied the food. I would buy lactose free yogurt and just gave that to all the kids. Are there things like that, that you could buy and feed him instead?

He only has his cans of formula which I have cut by 50%. Only 1 of my kids has milk, plus this little guy who has his special stuff and then another child whose mother has actually researched thoroughly how bad dairy is for us humans. I work very hard to include better sources of calcium in every meal to make sure every child is having a healthy dose, and as for iron, well there actually isn't any naturally occurring iron in milk, its all modified so terrible stuff anyway. I don't feed the kiddos yogurt and the 1 kiddo who can have dairy has their milk sent in. I'm not going to bother spending more on special dietary foods for a child whose family will take their child home and destroy all that goodness. I'd rather eliminate dairy and add collards to every recipe imaginable. I also make kale chips so they get a great amount of calcium there without all the fat and other nasties.

I just checked the can of formula I have and it has no sugar in it, so what formula does.

That's just one formula though right...

This brand is Alimentum and the number two ingredient is Sucrose which is SUGAR! This formula also contains casein which is number three ingredient and is a dairy product.
