    I'd just stick with water and make sure she's getting the nutrients from foods. Leafy greens are great for calcium; beans, avocados, and nuts are great for fats, chicken, fish, nuts, and beans for protein; good old fashioned sunlight for Vitamin D. Eggs yolks and fatty fish are also great for Vitamin D. It takes a little more effort to get them all the things they need but it's not impossible. Personally I won't be giving my kids milk because they have cow proteins and naturally occurring hormones that aren't meant for humans so I've done a good amount of research on the topic.

    Sorry but just no.... milk is not harmful (unless there is an allergy or intolerance). Lots of fake science out there that unfortunately people don't know how to tune out

    Mammals producing certain proteins and hormones meant specifically for their young is not fake science. We can agree to disagree.

    Isn't your child a very young infant? I would think that formulas designed for babies with milk allergies would be the way to go. Something like almond milk would seem to have very little nutritional value at that stage, IMO. Maybe I'm missing something here.

    In her first post she says "when they're old enough to drink milk." She's planning ahead for the future, not asking for today.

    No problem. But yes we have to buy special formula now. I'm pretty sure liquid gold would be cheaper lol.
