Guest guest Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 When I've seen recommendations not to give rice milk to children, it really means not to give it to them as their primary drink in place of breast milk or formula. Rice milk tends to be very low in protein and often low in fat as well. As an occasional drink it is fine, as long as they have other good protein and fat sources.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I am not a nutritionist or doctor, but I agree with Heather. I checked the rice milk in my fridge and its specific message does begin with " not for use as an infant formula " . I think people that wanted a non dairy formula alternative have tried to use these types of drinks in the past as a replacement for breast milk or formula and nutritionally it does not stack up. An attorney probably indicated to place this on their product to lesson liability or they have been sued in the past and now need the blurb to better protect themselves. I have seen this on many milk drinks though, not just rice. This same message is also on the oat milk in my fridge.

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Also, I know that my pediatrian recommended that I keep my children on soy milk until age two for the increased nutrition and extra fat. Don't know if all of them recommend that, but. . .
