Rice milk for babies?!


Question: Rice milk for babies.?
My son is almost a year old - so it is time to start switching over to milk from formula. He has problems with milk (severe constipation, rashes), and I have read about soy products mimicking estrogen (so I don't want to switch over to soy milk)...but I am concerned about the fat content being too low in rice milk, the interaction of the fortification of vitamins A&D with his supplements prescribed by his doctor, and if he will be even more constipated because rice is binding. Any suggestions or advice.?.?.?

Thanks!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
no, too high in sugar, instead try goat milk, very low in sugar and very easy to digest for humans.Health Question & Answer

Rice Milk and Soy Milk should never be confused with or used as a replacement for whole cow milk (or for breast feeding or as a replacement for infant formula).

Fortified rice milk can be an acceptable alternative beverage for older children (but not a replacement for milk). To understand why rice milk is not recommended for infants, compare its ingredient list and Nutrition Facts label to that of infant formula. Rice milk contains only water, rice, oil and salt. It has no iron or other added minerals except calcium and the only added vitamins are D, A and B-12. It is also low in protein and essential fats.

There is no "switch over" from formula to rice milk. You will need to supplement your son for the missing mineral, vitamins, fat, protein and other ingredients that rice milk do not have.

I am sure your son's situation is not unique. His doctor should know what is for him if he cannot have milk.Health Question & Answer
