[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will say I always questioned why we supposedly could not give cow's milk until 12 months but could give all other dairy (yogurt, cheese) beginning at 6 months. Then the formula shortage. Then WADDYA KNOW, the american academy of pediatricians suddenly says, 'It's ok to give cow milk at 6 months if you can't find formula, but JUST FOR NOW!' I am very anti-breastfeeding bullies but it did make me wonder about the clout of the formula lobby. [/quote]

Omg don't switch to cow's milk at 6 months and don't insinuate that that's ok. This post by itself puts babies at risk, you sicko. The AAP said that in an emergency you can give cow's milk for no longer than a week. They explained why here:

So less iron is the only concern? Even less convincing. So cow's milk itself is not a health threat. [/quote]

NP. Are you familiar with [b]hyponatremic seizures [/b]and why this might be a concern for some cow's milk products, but not others? [b]Late hypocalcemic tetany of the neonate? The digestibility of high casein curd? Hypotaurinemia and hypocystinemia?[/quote][/b]

omg who cares not anyone reading this thread[/quote]

So, "no."

Fair enough. I can see why you are under the impression you understand what's going on. [/quote]

I know exactly what is going on, which is that no one is on page 4 of this thread--where your soapbox speech about milk began--to get information about infant feeding. Thus, they care EVEN LESS about any of the bolded. [/quote]

Lord. Do you not know what "NP" means? Or do you just react without reading?

I was a "new poster." That was my first post, back on page 9. Not page 4.

There are many reasons why cow's milk can have bad outcomes for infants, and why dairy products without as much (not salt-balanced) water are less likely to cause problems at a given age. OF COURSE they are technical and boring. OF COURSE that is why a news release about how pediatricians can counsel distraught parents is not going into the details of sodium and phosphate metabolism.

You are making your own point by still not understanding what is going on. [/quote]
