+++Hi Tina,

will probably write to you too, but I think you shouldn't try to take

his milk away from him until you get back to Australia.

He is old enough to get all of the nutrients his body needs from foods on this

diet (without needing milk) and he should be getting supplements recommended for

his age in this article:

http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/baby.php

But don't try to make changes now. Diarrhea isn't a bad thing, however I

understand it can be alarming. If you make sure he gets enough fluids he should

be okay, but staying on milk for now should do it.

Also his own body creates any bacteria, as needed, in order to get rid of

toxins, and I doubt the milk is the main source of those toxins. I know

diarrhea can't be so harmful since my brother had it for over 20 years and yet

he was able to get healthy on my program and he is 63 years old.

All the best, Bee

Hi Tina,

I think weaning is difficult for most children. They are sad to lose their

comfort things. But it sounds like it's a good time to get rid of the milk if

he's not tolerating it anymore.

The key is consistency. If you keep at it long enough and are consistent, they

will learn that this is the new standard and they will eventually get over it.

I think you should try giving him Bee's egg drink. I can't remember if you are

able to get coconut oil or not, but you could make it with just butter. The

recipe is on Bee's website.

There is also the Weston A Price recipe for homemade baby formula, but that

might not be necessary since he's older.

If he is thirsty, he will drink. Perhaps a little squeeze of lemon or lime

juice in his water might make it more appealing. Just don't go overboard on the

amount of lemon or lime juice since some people don't tolerate it well in the

beginning.

Hope that helps!

I think mentioned the egg drink--- I weaned my daughter off milk by

slowly switching her over and mixing the two adding less and less milk. It took

about 48 hours and she didn't even notice! Good luck!

My son Jaron is 18 months old and he loves his bottle with milk:)

But he seem to not tolerate it anymore as he is constantly getting diarrhea, and

now (since we are in India) he has contracted a bacterial diarrhea aswell.

I am trying to wend him off milk, but he is so sad, does not want water, I am

giving him some coconut water at the moment (The Indian coconut is not very

sweet) he is happy with it, but I can't give him that all the time.

He seem a little dehydrated at times, what is best to give him? Any idea on how

to ween him off milk?

Thanks!!

Hi ,

Maybe you missed it, but I do not recommend any of the baby formulas at WAPF for

so many good reasons. I'll have to find my baby formula, which was posted on

the group quite awhile ago, and get it posted on my website and the group. : )

Luv & Hugs, Bee

Hi Bee,

I thought that maybe it would be still okay as a drink for a toddler who is

already getting most of their nutrients from food. But if you don't want me to

recommend the WAPF formulas to anyone, then I won't. )

@@ Hi Bee,

Would it be the homemade Goats Milk Baby Formula you are seeking.

Formula :

4 Cups goats milk, 4 C water minus 4 tblsp, 2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive

oil, 1 tsp coconut oil, 4 tsp gelatin, 1 tsp butter and 4 tsp yeast flakes.

For other people's information, the goats milk can be purchased at the health

food store. Even if the milk is pasteurized its still acceptable and

beneficial.

Cordially,

Ed
