Hi Lindsay,

Yes, I have – she has such a sensitive tummy. I also tried goat yogurt and kefir as I hear those are more easily digested than milk. The last time I did a trial was about 4 months ago; perhaps I could give it another go and see if she’s ready as I agree it would be more suitable. We have a great goat farm pretty close by however their goats stop producing in the winter and begin again in the spring, I believe. My small health food store carries it – it was just cool to go to the farm – so fresh!! Anyway, thank you again. Hopefully we find a resolution soon!

Have you tried goats milk? I would start with a small quantity and gradually increase. I think it would be a bit much to start with 20 oz at once. You could also water it down a bit and then slowly decrease until it is not diluted.

Lindsay,

Thank you for your great article!

I’ve been tirelessly researching alternatives for my 1 year old. I’ve tried homemade almond, coconut tonic and rice milk – she’s had negative reactions to all (rashes, loose stools and/or constipation). I HOPE hemp milk will agree with her? I’m going to try it in the next week or so. I would prefer making it myself but will try the Living Harvest first.

Do you think 20 ounces per 24 hours is too much? She is on a wide variety of solids sans egg white, nuts and dairy. Mostly veggies, fruits, egg yolk, grass fed meats at this point.

Thank you!

Hi Ashley!

How old was your daughter when you weaned her to hemp milk?

I have a one year old. She cannot have dairy and I want to stay away from soy. I tried making my own rice milk w/ necessary essential oils and vitamins added – but she was pretty constipated. Also, homemade almond milk gave her loose stools and a rash:(

Thank you for any info you may have!

I recently bought some Vanilla Hemp milk (Pacific Natural Foods brand), and it is excellent! I haven’t used it in cooking yet, but for just plain drinking it’s great. If you see some the next time you’re at the store, try it. It´s so beautyful that I´ve found so much Information about hemp milk at http://www.hempmilk.org.

I buy hemp seeds at Lassen’s Health Market. I think it costs like 8 bucks for a bag. They are good to eat straight out of the bag, and better toasted with a little olive oil and sea salt. They’re a little like sesame seeds, and no, they can’t be planted and grown into pot plants. They’ve been radiated or something so they have to be eaten and not grown. Also, Trader Joe’s has great hemp protein powder, hemp granola bars and hemp cereal. Mmm-mm, ganja-goodness!

Hemp seeds are currently illegal to buy or sell in most US states. However, Oregon is working on legalizing the cultivation of Hemp which will help in making the purchase of Hemp Milk a lot cheaper. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
