My daughter went from formula to almond milk because of a dairy intolerance. If I'm remembering correctly the vitamin d & calcium were the same or even more than WCM, but it had less protein.

I wasn't a fan of cows milk for a while. I stopped drinking it completely but now that there are antibiotic free options I will use them. But I won't give V the "regular milk".

But ca and Vit D are important for bone health and immunity.

Healthy fat can be obtained in many ways.

I had a dairy allergy for years and still have minor dairy intolerance. The endocrinologist told me that in the first few years of life, the calcium and vitamin D intake is so important. I have no doubt this played into the fact that I'm only 32 and have osteoporosis.

yes. I'm so sorry and I bet that is a big part of your issues with brittle bones which you cannot really correct at this point.
I feel very strongly about ca and d. That's my equivalent to your CIO.

The thought of not breastfeeding anymore is incredibly depressing to me.

My plan is to stop pumping around 11 months, use my freezer stash and start weaning onto cow's milk. I'll keep up morning and night nursing for a little while.

My FFFC is that as much as I have enjoyed nursing I'll be ready for it to end. Mostly because I hate pumping more than I love nursing, I guess. And I'm ready for DH to feel a little more equal/confident as far as soothing and feeding her.

I didn't even always hate pumping. I'm just feeling overwhelmed at work and am ready to be done pumping.

There is nothing in cows milk that baby needs that can't be found in other foods. We may do rice or almond milk but we aren't cows. I realize that formula is cows milk. She's getting it now for the beginning stages because my boobs failed me.

Ok, so then what other foods are you going to use to gain the fat content in the milk... I'm just curioius... it's an honest question and my question wasn't a jab at your decision, I was curious about what you would use in place of the milk to get the required fat content.

I didn't take it as a jab We'll do things like cheese, yogurt, avocado, nuts, etc. We aren't against animal products, but cows milk just isn't a must. SO has a lactose sensitivity so instead of giving it to her (or even buying lactose free milk) we'll just make sure to give her things that have calcium and fat in them. Now, if she needs the extra calories for any reason, we'd go for almond or coconut milk. We're aiming for a more plant-based diet but she won't be on a strict vegetarian or vegan diet. And I know we can't avoid puffs. Those things are like crack to her lol.

I'm glad you didn't take it as a jab

Thanks for the extra info!! Parker loves avacados.

I left my breast pump at a bar. We got our taxes done and got a fat refund so we went to the bar a couple doors down to celebrate. Oops. Had to get it the next day.

Other times.... I wish I had a girl who looked good. I would call her.

..... And then secretly..... I also wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat and six-four impala. :-??

coco2787 · March 2014

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought dairy wasn't the best source of calcium.

jackson290721 · March 2014

We won't be doing cows milk either. But with the way DD banshee screamed at me when she ran out if avocados, I'm not worried.

lancomechica · March 2014

Dairy products are the best source of calcium...by far. Not only source but by far the best source.

Whatever happened to Skee-Lo?

He made two more unsuccessful albums and has firmly planted himself in "one hit wonder" status.

heatherbrownm · March 2014

Unrelated to the previous topic, but... You're a RD, right @lancomechica‌ ? I've always wondered what a dietician's diet looks like. Care to share what you eat? Feel free to PM. I'm fascinated by nutrition.

Awww I was joking about the avocado thing. I'm incredibly stressed about what to do instead of milk.

Hmmm. How about a political confession? I think Mayor McCheese is the best mayor of all time.

Okay, I know this isn't a peer review study or anything but is there no truth to this? Its about how your body uses calcium stores in your bones to digest dairy. *This is specific to milk, not cheese or yogurt https://saveourbones.com/osteoporosis-milk-myth/

I let Isaac eat a breakfast burrito this morning. Nitrates.
Last night when I got home from a meeting (I got home pretty late) Isaac was wearing some of Eliza's old jammies. He rocked the blue flowers.
If everything works out with DHs career I will be willing to have a third kid.
After my meeting last night I spent time with a really good friend that is infertile. She's really struggling with it and she broke down and so I broke down. Then she felt stupid because she doesn't think it's something she should cry over. I sometimes wish she knew you all because I want her to know that what she is going through is not small. It's not stupid to feel that way. I sometimes think she avoids me because of my babies and that makes me sad but I can't blame her.

thegoodpotato · March 2014

My confession is that I'm in a shitty mood. It's taking every shred of my being not to flip out on my poor toddler who is in the midst of her independent stage. I know what she's going through is normal (and actually pretty mild), but I'm riding the edge of sanity today.

I am so glad it's Friday. I think I need a nice, fatty chai tea latte by myself with a new book tomorrow.

I don't know much about this site other than my endocrinologist told me to stay away from Vivian Goldsomething or other (who is the author of the " Save Your Bones " program) because she's trying to earn money with her program. I don't know much more about it.

Gotcha. I've just seen and heard about this a lot, not just from her, that was the first example I found. I just always thought it was strange we drink the milk of another mammal as adults, and am curious if it's really necessary like it's promoted to be.

Big hugs for your friend. Infertility is a horrible rollercoaster. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Hugs to her too. Infertility can feel so isolating sometimes. I am sure it was nice for her to be able to vent to you. You are a good friend for listening.

DD didn't drink cow's milk till a few months ago (she's 2.5) because she hated it. She'd take a miniscule amount in her cereal but now she drinks it all the time. She wouldn't touch anything but breast milk or water before. Our pedi wasn't too concerned because she has always loved cheese, yogurt, avocados, and other foods so he said we were okay without supplements.

My FCCC: I would eat Chipotle's corn salsa by heaping spoonfuls every day if I could.

crash916 · March 2014

My sister has been trying to have a baby for over one year. My confession is that I know I have said some if the same stupid crap to her that DH and I heard during our 2 years of trying.
I am working on just listening to whatever she wants to tell me.
I want hem to have a LO so bad!

sparkymcgeee · March 2014

Thanks ladies. This is why I know she could benefit from this type of place. Y'all get it more than joe schmo off the street.

1. I have no idea what BOAB means.
2. I forgot to pay a ticket and am now driving on an expired license. In all fairness, I ran a stop sign in a non blind area and was safe to pull out. So, I didn't see it as a big deal and I forgot.

I haven't made it past this post yet, and someone may have already called this out, but I can't pass it up...

THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID!

emmanemm · March 2014

FFFC from dd:

Instead of crying to let mommy know that I'm awake I stand up in my crib and throw my nuk out, then I yell(not cry), "aaahhh" as loud as I can(which is pretty loud). Mom always comes to get me and tells me it's not nice to yell at her, but how else will I let her know I'm awake.

giraffeluvspi · March 2014

I made it!

That's all we've got is milk talk? Da fuq? :-??

sparkymcgeee · March 2014

@ChrissieMeas‌ how about this; I needed to use the restroom but crazy lady from last week was going at the same time and I didn't feel like making small talk or even being in the same room as her so I kept walking right past the restroom to the elevator so I could go to another floors restroom. I farted while in the elevator since I was alone. Then I chuckled to myself because I thought of the next person to use it. I don't think it smelled but still funny.

pgermain11 · March 2014

Thought of another one..

I haven't baby proofed the house except for TR outlets. I see people talking about baby proofing this and that and I feel like I'm behind or something. My LO crawls everywhere but I'm right behind her and if I'm sitting on the floor, she prefers to sit next to me anyways. Maybe when she starts being more independent I'll get more serious about it.

@Meimsx‌ Hugs to your friend. I feel so sad for her that she thinks it's not something she should allow herself to cry over. Infertility is incredibly hard and a huge emotional roller coaster.

This so much. My SIL is going through this. She was told a little over a year ago that she would never have biological children, and she beats herself up over still being sad about it. She thinks she should "be over it" by now. No, no, no! It is a serious loss and she should allow herself to grieve it as such.

I try so hard to be there for her, but it is hard for her because of DS, and she doesn't even know about the new one yet

I don't like it when my husband faces me while we sleep. Sometimes I'll blow my smelly breath on him to get him to roll over
