Guest guest Posted January 30, 2004 Report Share Posted January 30, 2004 I just have a couple of questions. First of all, what does 'dd' and 'dh' stand for, I see them used repeatedly and have been wondering for a while. Secondly, does anyone have any suggestions for switching a 10 year old from cow's milk to soy? He says he doesn't like it but I'm sure its just because he isn't accustomed to it. My 5 yr old and I drink only soy, although none of us are exclusively vegan. I'm trying to slowly work my way towards vegan and this has been kind of a roadblock. He doesn't drink a lot of milk, mostly only in cereal and an occasional cup of chocolate milk, and I've been buying organic milk for him since at least that is a little healthier (no pesticides/antibiotics, etc.) but would love to stop buying it all together. --- wrote: > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soak abt 10 almonds overnite, peel off skin (or leave them on and strain later), blend with 1-2 cups water, add molasses if you wish. As dd grew older, I added other things like almond butter, tahini, liquid vitamin, etc. hth!! Best, Janis _______________ There are now three new levels of MSN Hotmail Extra Storage!

This doesn't come from personal experience, since my son has been vegan from birth. But, I would try mixing the soy with the cow milk for a while, each week adding more soy. I would also suggest using rice milk as an alternate. The taste is a little more mild than the soy. Hope this helps. Peace, Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 When my family made the switch from dairy milk to soymilk, we mixed dairy and soy together until we developed a taste for soymilk. Then we kept tapering down the amount of dairy milk until we eventually got rid of it all together. Also, vanilla flavor was our favorite at the beginning. Now we find it too sweet and we like plain better. We transitioned from dairy to soy, but I think it may be even easier to go from dairy to ricemilk. Ricemilk has a more neutral taste and has a more consistency more like dairy - soy is thicker. I hope that helps . . . just keep at it - it's worth the effort!

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Shirley, " dd " stands for darling daughter, " dh " darling husband and " ds " darling son. When we first made the switch to soy from cow's milk we drank vanilla soy. After a year or so we were used to the soy and the vanilla tasted too sweet so we were ready for the plain soy. Always enriched tough. I would also recommend you try different brands. Everyone I know (including our family) seems to have thier own brand preference. Good luck.

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2004 Report Share Posted February 15, 2004 Have you tried Silk? They make a delicious chocolate soymilk. There are other brands that make other flavors as well, such as strawberry. Have you tried making him chocolate milk from soymilk w/o him knowing that you are using soy? Have you tried rice milk or almond milk? Shirley <mybluerat wrote:I just have a couple of questions.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 I love Silk! And so does my daughter. It is what our stores carry here. The vanilla is wonderful, and goes well with oatmeal and other hot cereals. I haven't seen the strawberry flavor, but will keep my eye out for it.
