I have been giving my now two and a half year old daughter almond milk since about 14 months. Found out that the cow’s milk formula was a cause of her chronic constipation since birth, and now whole cows milk will cause her to violently vomit until it is all out of her system. When she was an infant she was always crying and wailing, and we never understood it, but looking back I think it was because her digestive system was in disarray from the cow’s milk based formula.

The major difference I have noticed between her and other toddlers her age is her brain function. She has been speaking in full, clear sentences since 18 months. She could sing 4-5 songs [ABC's, Twinkle Twinkle, etc] since 18 months as well. Talking to her now is a full on conversation of back and forth, she just picks up everything.

I wonder if I can attribute this to her almond milk, if it has the Omega 3′s and fatty acids that helped her brain to develop at a better rate than those that did not have it.

Maybe I’m jumping in too deep with this almond milk thing, but there is a marked difference between my daughter and most others of her age that I’ve met. Besides the fact that I’m home with her everyday, I see no other major differences that might add to this.

I’m unclear. While I enjoy Organic Almond Milk most of the time. I’m wondering if I should avoid it when I’m getting over a cold and am prone to extra mucus formation.

So what are you really saying about soy milk? Do you like the almond milk? Have you ever tried hemp milk? I have never tried any of them & would like some input. Also, do they sell any of these in a dry form. I have started following Dr. Furhmanâs way of living & am trying to expand my eating choices. Thank you!!

Thanks! I just bought Silk Almond Milk to try in my breakfast smoothie. Have been using soy for a year..as I thought it was a good milk substitute..wrong!
IMPORTANT NOTE: It says right on the Almond Milk carton: “Not to be used as infant formula”. Guess the mothers of infants should talk to their physicians before a change.

Trader Joes Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk is by far the best brand–I’ve tried Blue Diamond and Almond Breeze…It has a creamier texture and better taste and only 40 calories.

For the record, I too avoid soy for hormone and autoimmune issues…

Thanks for all the comments! I am too looking for something to give my baby now that I am no longer breastfeeding him. He HATES cow milk, so I started searching for something else to try. I will try almond milk for sure now. I am going to make my own. :)

Thanks for all the info.

Latest ingredients in Almond Breeze use Sunflower Lecithin instead of Soy Lecithin.

Wow ryan really? Your asking people not to talk about fish? What an idiot. So far no one has tried to convert your veganism to being a fish eater. I do believe other “religions” are talked about in opposite religion meeting areas.
Get over yourself.

Back to topic: Almond Milk?… Yes amazing. Such a smooth nut drink. Big fan.
My story: I developed irritable bowels 2 years ago. After many unsuccessful doctor and natural visits and being diagnosed with “a sensitive spirit” I for the most part healed myself of ongoing symptoms by eliminating many disruptive foods from my diet: soy, dairy, eggs, gluten among others…

And I have had a wonderful time exploring all the different nut drinks out there to satisfy my human bodies cravings. Almonds are super. I encourage everyone to make some at home: easy, fun, tasty, brilliant.
