Submit your question and we’ll answer it in a future episode!“Honey, don’t you think it’s time we switched our baby to cow’s milk? She is 1 year old now and we want to make sure she has all the fat and vitamin D she needs!”  “Yeah, if she were a baby cow that would definitely be what we should do! Actually Dianne and Abby said that cow’s milk is never necessary and my breastmilk is tailor-made to meet her every need at every age!”  Listen this week as Dianne and Abby discuss cow’s milk and other non-human milk. This is a common misconception that your milk is not sufficient to meet your baby’s needs. Your milk is designed by your body, just as perfectly as your baby was made by your body. No milk from another species can ever be better for your baby. Drink cow’s milk or other milks if you like, but it is never needed. It’s a choice.  This week’s episode is brought to you by Spand-Ice!
