Guest guest Posted February 2, 2002 Report Share Posted February 2, 2002 I understand that the human fascination with kissing is rooted in mothers chewing food before releasing it into baby's mouth. Sounds natural to me! <br><br>PG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2002 Report Share Posted February 2, 2002 Smarte Baby!!! No Soy! <br>Pureed: bananas, soaked oatmeal, any fruits, pureed veggies which don't cause gas. Also, soaked oatmeal pureed with fruits. <br>Get ideas from ingredients in baby food jars sold commercially and make 'em all yourself!<br>Sue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2002 Report Share Posted February 2, 2002 Amy,<br><br>Best advice is to put him back on breast milk. There is no substitute that comes close. Why not express milk into bottle and feed baby from bottle? If you could do that until he is one it would be so great for him.<br><br>Don’t feed him soymilk. If you have to substitute another “milk” type product try making your own “nut milk”. In an earlier post I wrote at length on how to make “almond milk”. I can’t find it now but when moves us from “clubs” to “groups” we will have a search method to find text in old posts. I found almonds the best but you can also make from sunflower seeds.<br><br>To make Almond Milk:<br>Soak 1 cup of whole organic almonds in water overnight. That gets rid of the enzyme inhibitors which you don’t want. The next morning drain the almonds. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and take off the heat. Throw all the almonds into the hot water for about 45 seconds and then drain. While the almonds are hot remove all the almond skins one by one but pinching each one between your thumb and forefinger. When you do it right the almond will jump right out of it’s skin. It only takes a second to do each one. Throw out the skins. Now put the cup of skinless almonds into a good blender and add 6 cups of water. Turn the blender on high for about 2 minutes. Pour out the milk through a fine strainer to remove the nut meal. What you have left is about 6 cups of almond milk. Good idea to strain AGAIN because the bottle’s nipple hole gets easily clogged. Best to use organic nuts and distilled water.<br><br>See? It’s more work making almond milk than breast milk and it is in no way as good but my little guy sure liked it as did we. We never gave my infant son formula. I forget when it is appropriate but at some point you can give your son “highly” diluted fruit or vegetable juices you prepare at home with a good juicer.<br><br>Personally, I would stay away from feeding him oatmeal, soaked or otherwise. It’s constipating. I know… everyone will tell you to feed him oatmeal and it sounds like a perfectly sensible thing to feed him but I’ve read enough hygienic books to indicate otherwise. I love oatmeal. But since I’m so in touch with my health at this point I can tell that the oatmeal is not good for me and likewise it is not good for anyone.<br><br>As far as your son being sick often there is so much to consider beyond what you are feeding him. <br><br>Is he sleeping enough?<br>Is he kept adequately warm but not too warm?<br>Are you over feeding him?<br>Are you combining foods correctly?<br>Are you vaccinating him?<br>Are you giving him ANY medications?<br>Is he getting adequate sunshine and fresh air?<br>Etc.<br><br><br>Closing points:<br>See post #179 in this club about the book “Raw Kids”.<br><br>Try to find a copy of “The Hygienic Care of Children” by Shelton (and good luck with that task).<br><br>Avoid cow’s milk at all costs. If you want your child to have lots of problems give him cow’s milk. We tried fresh goat’s milk but twice he broke out over his whole body during that time so we ended that experiment. Feeding your child any animal milk other than human milk is not a good idea.<br><br>-OrionsDad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2002 Report Share Posted February 2, 2002 I have read articles on raw babies, that say they should be breast fed for 2 years. The problem with nut milks is that they might be too high in protien. Breast milk is only, 1 1/2 to 2 1/2% protien. I would go with what sue says, fruits, and keep trying breast milk(of course I don't have a hungry baby on my hands.) <br><br>Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 Does anyone know if there is a vegan non-soy baby formula? What about vegan formulas in general? tera Visit: http://didi-mao.tripod.com, http://www.peta.com, http://www.fight4choice.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 10, 2002 Report Share Posted April 10, 2002 To the best of my knowledge, no, all vegan formula is soy. May I ask what you need it for? I might have some suggestions.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2002 Report Share Posted April 11, 2002 There is rice formula out there. It was formulated for those with soy and dairy allergies. I am giving my baby soy formula and it's vegan. It's Enfamil Prosobee. The thing that I don't like about it is that " corn syrup solids " is the first ingredient. But the benefits outweigh the sugar problem. - Sonia In a message dated 4/11/02 3:54:31 PM Eastern Daylight Time, writes: > To the best of my knowledge, no, all vegan formula is soy.
