My LO is allergic to cow's milk, and I have adjusted to drinking almond milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-milk-do-you-drink/page/2#post-40618 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 12:48:17 +0000 hola abejita 40618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119 - I like that rice and oat milk are not as "thick" as soy milk. My local grocery store stocks both and they're organic to boot. I'm pretty lactose intolerant, so I'm glad the grain milks are so palatable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-milk-do-you-drink/page/2#post-40511 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 10:19:46 +0000 chopsuey 40511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hola abejita: I've never tried rice or oat milk.. interesting!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-milk-do-you-drink/page/2#post-40476 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 09:16:53 +0000 tequiero21 40476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i grew up drinking 2%.... but my husband is into skim, so we started drinking skim. recently, i tried to drink whole (just because i'm pregnant and trying to get fat where i can), but it was too heavy! then tried to get 2%, but it tasted weird! so back to skim. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-milk-do-you-drink/page/2#post-40446 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 06:47:12 +0000 L2sweetpea 40446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Skim...with ice </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-milk-do-you-drink/page/2#post-40438 Fri, 23 Dec 2011 05:28:46 +0000 mediagirl 40438@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love skim milk but since I found out about my dairy allergy, I moved to soy. I don't like it plain so I'll only drink the chocolate stuff. I miss my cereal in the mornings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-milk-do-you-drink/page/2#post-40367 Thu, 22 Dec 2011 23:33:15 +0000 hola abejita 40367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We love our rice milk and oat milk.

I switched to soy and never had a problem after. I still drink soy because she does. I cannot even stand the smell and texture of cows milk anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-milk-do-you-drink#post-39183 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 13:38:22 +0000 katdevargas 39183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>when I'm not pregnant we drink raw milk {not homogonized or pasturized}, but since I'm pregnant &amp; not allowed to have raw milk, I only drink organic milk. If they have whole that is what I buy, but if they don't have whole, I'll choose a lower fat organic over non-organic whole </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-milk-do-you-drink#post-39177 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 13:32:51 +0000 Rescuemom10 39177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Organic 1%!

Ill keep nursing or pumping for her if I can for that long. The thought of it weirds me out .We're the only species that vountarily seeks out and consumes another species milk. It never bothered me until I started BFing and now its like "ew." haha. I will give her whatever she needs to stay healthy though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-milk-do-you-drink#post-39092 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 12:17:36 +0000 skibobrown 39092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I drink cow's milk I go for 2%. Usually though we just buy soy milk since DH is somewhat lactose intolerant. Since getting pregnant I made us switch from soy to almond milk b/c of the estrogen-like properties of soy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-milk-do-you-drink#post-39091 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 12:17:08 +0000 yoursilverlining 39091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>None!

Im going to ask them what they suggest she starts drinking at 12 months old, but from what I think I remember them saying, they suggest goats milk then as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-milk-do-you-drink#post-39063 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 11:54:07 +0000 MrsBrewer 39063@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Skim milk for us.

Yuck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-milk-do-you-drink#post-39060 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 11:47:22 +0000 polkadots 39060@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>1% for us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-milk-do-you-drink#post-39058 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 11:43:17 +0000 Maysprout 39058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I drink fat free milk.

Our pedi group are all doctors from Europe (somewhere in the Slavic area) and are VERY into BFing education. Over there they get a lot of education during Med school on BFing-way more than over here. Anyways, they advise all of their BFing mothers to not drink cows milk or eat cheddar cheese, brie, or fresh mozzarella because of Casein and its potential links to several things.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-milk-do-you-drink#post-39044 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 11:26:33 +0000 SAHM0811 39044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: why no cow's milk while BFing? is that advice they generally give or does your baby have sensitivity to dairy?</p> <p>i couldn't really answer this poll... we have so many kinds of milk in our fridge at all times it's ridiculous... coconut, soy, almond (and those come in vanilla and unsweetened flavors too), goat, lowfat, skim, whole, chocolate... i change it up alot. i love milk!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-kind-of-milk-do-you-drink#post-39027 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 11:14:59 +0000 DpeachLu 39027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Almond or Soy milk! </p>
