Yeah, I've found moving to new foods to be relatively painless if done incrementally. Took just two weeks to convert my toddler son from cow's milk to soy milk (Silk brand, for the curious).
First day, it was 90% / 10% dairy/cow.
Second day, it was (eyeballing) 85% / 15% dairy/cow.
You get the idea... Didn't even notice the transition.
- armenarmen 5y agoJust curious, any reason for moving your kid from dairy to soy?
- boston_clone 5y agoTheir kid is probably not a baby cow, for starters.
- armenarmen 5y agomany kids are baby goats, so there is that
- adrusi 5y agoA note for anyone coming across this: soy milk is nutritionally comparable to cow's milk, but other milk alternative are not. Children who receive much of their nutrition from milk should not transition directly to almond or oat milk without considering other parts of their diet as well.
- dehrmann 5y agoSide-stepping how humans don't need milk after nursing, do you have any concerns with phytoestrogens? The closest thing to a consensus I've found with soy is small to medium amounts are probably fine, but there have been cases of funny things happening with large amounts.
