Why not give the baby organic raw goat's milk instead? Less allergens than

other animal milk.

No you can't replace baby formula with coconut milk as apart from the same type

of fat the comparison stops there. Coconut milk does not have any calcium and

other nutrients needed.

The Idea of some goats milk is good, I would never do 100% though. Adding a

little of coconut milk would be ok but maybe 10%

Mylanta is mostly calcium and Magnesium which is not bad but does carry other

things as well.

I would strongly suggest that she take the baby to a Naturopath and get her on

some HOMEOPATHIC medicine. My daughter had colic and Homeopathic medicine was

the only thing that worked and pharmacists hear that all the time from mothers.

Since babies are so pure and unpoluted homeopathic medicine works for them even

better than in adults. Without any side effects. I was able to buy my

daughters colic homeopathic medication @ the health food store and it came in

little pills that instantly dissolved in her mouth or in a little milk.

But if the problem persists then there may be another deformity with in the

digestive tract and I suggest she get a second medical opinion.

Not true. My 9 month old son has been on coconut milk since about 6 weeks old.

The formula in the store is 55 percent CORN SYRUP SOLIDS. Which is garbage. Its

not difficult to do better then that.

I agree about infant formula being garbage, but how does your baby get

protein, Calcium Magnesium, vitamins?

I give him an awesome multi vitamin in dropslet form and he does have goat milk

at night. I don't have insurance for either of us so I pay cash to have blood

work done on him periodically. They say he is one of the healthiest babies they

have ever seen. That formula was giving him rashes, thresh, awful stomach

problems. Just like anyone would react to such a high amount of toxins from the

corn. People have told me I am crazy for giving him coconut milk. Try to read

the label of any formula container. Oh and I also suppliment him with the nsc

company's beta glucan 3 mg because I am a hospital employee and I worry about

bringing sickness home to him. And for the record he has never been sick.

wow, that is pretty incredible that he is doing so well on coconut milk. My

concern is that as he ages that is when you may see some results of him missing

some nutrients. Vitamins are great but whole foods provide many micro nutrients

that vitamins do not carry. The fact that you also feed him Goats milk is a

good idea to help him get some of the other nutrients he is not getting from the

coconut milk. I imagine you buy coconut milk that does not have any

preservatives in it. Since he is 9 months old he must be eating solid foods by

now which will also give him needed nutrients. What you are doing makes me

think that coconut milk is much more beneficial than I first thought off.

Since about 6 months I have been making all his food at home. He eats every

color with an emphasis on red and purple for there anti fungal properties. The

only grains he ever has are quinoa and occasionally amaranth. I don't know if

you live near a trader joes, but there coconut milk is 99 cents a 14 oz can and

there is only 1 ingredient on the label. Some of the other places I have shopped

for it has some wierd stuff in it. You do have to add a ounce or two of water

because its pretty thick. My baby was so sick from the conventional formula,

when I gave him coconut milk its like he came out of a fog.

I live in Canada so no Trader Joe's here but since I live in a very

multicultural center( just outside of Toronto and it is known to be the worlds

most multicultural diverse city) I buy mine @ an Asian Market. They carry many

types but only one type which is in a tretra box is the only one that doesn't

carry a preservative. Aprox. 1 liter(aprox. 33 ounces) is $2.79. Sounds like

your child is getting real optimum food and thus being so healthy. My 12 year

old daughter shows signs of not tolerating milk and I have substituted some of

the milk with coconut milk, no upset stomach from that. Keep up the good work

your child is benefiting from it.

Formula is hardly even food, even with coconut milk, but you can make it better

for the baby by adding uncooked whey powder. It will bring up his immune

activity too.

Other thing is formula will not contain inulin to grow a healthy bowel culture.

This food is supposed to make his probiotic bifidobacteria be the dominatnt

bowel bacteria until he's much older. If it's not put in there, the boy will

probably have a lifetime of bowel trouble and immune issues.

A little coconut milk would be beneficial. My two young daughters, 2-6 yrs.

drink only goat milk, NO, colds.

My baby had extreme sensitivity to dairy. It was a hard few weeks before we

figured out what works. I wasent making enough to sustain him. Oh and I don't

add it to the formula. He just gets the milk.

Does breast milk contain inulin?

Alobar, yes I read that milk contains some inulin but the amount is very low.

Normally the breast fed baby grows its gut culture with lactose, and other

components of the milk create a suppressive environment for many bacteria.

all good,

My infant had the same dairy intolerance. I was breastfeeding and had to give

up dairy completely to cure my baby's colic. It worked instantly. I didn't

produce enough milk so I started supplementing with a goat's milk, rice milk,

whey protein, probiotic, multivitamin and flax oil homemade formula....which

worked for a couple months and now she refuses it....she only wants the breast

or coconut water. She is 10 months old and eating a lot of different home made

foods, so I don't worry that she is not getting nutrition...but my two concerns

are.... is she getting too much sugar from the coconut water? (she drinks about

15 oz a day) and are the aluminum cans that I buy the juice in going to leach

any harmful toxins to her (BPA, aluminum etc)?

I have the same concern with the coconut milk you mention that you buy at Trader

Joe's (the aluminum can leaching toxins). Has anyone heard about this and is

there any validity to the concern?

Also, @ cocheesie420.... what type of beta glucan do you buy? I didn't see a

liquid form, how do you give it to an infant? Crush the tablets???

Thanks

anything that comes from a metal or plastic container is contaminated with

plastic..and is largly dead because its heat treated to last. Its tough,but

fresh is always better,esp for babies growing up.

[Guest guest]

Hey, I use NSC-24 beta glucan. It's in a capsule, so you can open it and add

it to food. It's great! I buy it from My Natural Market.com Deb
