Charlie has a cow's milk allergy, so it's possible that Olive may have one too. Olive is almost 10 months old so I've been thinking about the transition to milk when she turns 1. I think we may transition her to hemp milk from the get go instead of cow's milk so that she's drinking the same milk as Charlie.
Anyone else planning on skipping regular cow's milk for a milk alternative?

Your post actually had me thinking about this. Especially because I'm on a milk elimination diet now. Her father is lactose intolerant and so is my brother. So chances are high she might be as well.
Where do you get hemp's milk?

@regberadaisy: all of our local stores sell it, but our neighborhood is pretty granola-y. i actually just signed up for amazon subscribe and save and had a 12 pack delivered!

Does your doctor agree to that? I didn't think alternative milks had what babies need at that age. We are still nursing because of our Milk Intollerance. None of our doctors have given us cheap alternatives (we are neocate splash supplement).

@brownie: honestly on certain topics, i feel like i do way more research than my doctor. for instance, i probably know a lot more about how to increase my milk supply than he does, as they don't get training for things like that.
i'm also undecided about how i feel about cow's milk. there is a lot of literature and research against it these days. i'm not sure if the large quantities our children consume it in is good for them.

@Mrs. Bee: I agree whole heartedly on all of that. Mine didn't know anything about MSPI and gave us meds that I think ultimately did more harm than good.
I also agree on the dairy. But that is probably from my Crossfit trainings and Paleo more than anything. But the more I learn...

@Mrs. Bee: woah, how does Amazon deliver milk??
And agree on the sentiments of milk. I wonder if she'll be able to take raw milk with some probiotics...

@regberadaisy: hemp milk is not refrigerated like almond milk, coconut milk, rice milk, soy milk, etc. they only sell soy in the refrigerated section because people expect milk to be refrigerated so it was impacting their sales when it wasn't in the milk section.
but all those milks do not need to be refrigerated until they're opened.
