Toddler Health™ Rice-based Nutritional Drink Mix

rice milk = sugar water. Don't know if they add anything to this particular formula, but I wouldn't personally use anything rice-based for my baby. Try soy.

Hi K.,

I have a dairy and soy allergic kiddo on my hands. We've never tried this particular formula. We drink enriched plain rice milk and fill in the blanks with his regular diet. You might be able to just do rice milk and a multi-vitamin. Maybe your Dr. could advise?

Let me know what you think of the formula if you do get a chance to try it.

Why rice based nutritional drink mix, why not whole milk?

HI K., you are going to get a lot of conflicting data on this, but you can do the research for yourself online about SOY. I fed my baby Soy before I knew better. Soy formula is the equivalent of giving 5 birth control pills a day. Stay away from soy. I've done a ton of research on it, and I wrote an extensive entry on mama source months ago about SOY which you can look up. It has a lot of scary details in it, including how it affects sexualization of young children, infants, and fetuses. Soy has become a CHEAP food additive for the booming, deep pocketed American soy industry. All at the price of our health.
There is rice milk, goat milk, potato milk, almond milk. Unpasturized goat milk would probably be the best bet for your toddler and the most healthy, if you can get it direct from the farm. Then boil it for 10 minutes to clear any bacteria. (I think pasturization lasts longer at higher temps, so boiling is not as destructive to the enzymes. I dunno, you can look this up).
