Breast Milk
This is your first step in your Organic Baby Care: #1 CHANGE in your baby diet – NO MORE COW’S MILK!!
In the first several days after delivery, colostrums is the first substance that is secreted by a woman's breast, it is a thick, yellowish milk. It has a high concentration of calcium, potassium, proteins, fat-soluble vitamins, minerals and antibodies. Due to its high concentration of antibodies, this milk is particularly valuable for infants in preventing infection. Transitional breast milk is secreted between about four days and ten days postpartum. This is the intermediate between colostrum and mature milk. The volume increases during this time. Overall Health for your organic baby diet is directly what you feed her(him). The best organic baby milk and ultimate food for your baby when she (he) is born is breast milk. Despite what the so-called “industry expert” says. Every creature on this earth feed their children their own breast milk, except humans. All mammals, including humans, are intended to be nourished during infancy by milk from their mother. Part of the very definition of a mammal is that the female of the species has milk-producing glands in her breasts which provide nourishment for her young. Each species of mammal produces its unique type of milk designed specifically to strengthen the immune system and provide nourishment for their babies.
We are the only creature that feed our children’s cow milk. To me it is very odd. People who have been taught that cow's milk is the "perfect food" may be shocked to hear many prominent medical doctors are now saying dairy consumption is a contributing factor in nearly two dozen diseases of children and adults. Cow's milk can lead to: And the list goes on and on.

Milk is a very, very huge industry and the big wigs of these conglomerates do not want to disturb this. Milk is big business. Cow's milk is promoted as the "perfect food" for humans, and especially for our children. They will do anything to say milk help their little bones to grow big and strong, very high in protein and calcium; children need this most of all, and yes even go as far as saying that cow’s milk can be better than breast milk. THEY CAN’T BE MORE WRONG!! Cow's milk is more American than apple pie, but that's because apple pie doesn't have Congressional lobbyists and a multi-million dollar advertising budget. More than 60 of the most powerful Congressional leaders in Washington receive campaign contributions from the National Dairy Council. A baby corporation has even gone to extend and advertise that their product has enzymes or protein that is similar to breast milk. No way, no one can duplicate mother’s breast milk, especially for each individual whose unique ingredients in each one of us is good for our own children.
These advertisements has put such a strong emphasis on the health of our childrenthat some people view milk commercials as more of a public service announcement than an attempt to sell a product. These ads have told us "Milk is a Natural," "Everybody Needs Milk," "Milk is the Perfect Food," etc. This advertising has served its purpose well because the average American consumes 375 pounds of dairy products a year. One out of every seven dollars spent on groceries in the U.S. goes to buy dairy products.
Despite what the dairy industry has led us to believe, many medical doctors and nutritionists are now saying that cow's milk is not healthy for human consumption, and that it can lead to many serious diseases. When you look at the credentials of the doctors making these statements, it would be hard for the dairy industry to accuse these physicians of being on the lunatic fringe of the medical world. Frank Oski, M.D., author of "Don't Drink Your Milk!" is the Director of the Department of Pediatrics of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Physician-in-Chief of the Johns Hopkins Children's Center. He is the author, co-author, editor or co-editor of 19 medical textbooks and has written 290 medical manuscripts. In the first chapter of his book, Dr. Oski states, "The fact is: the drinking of cow milk has been linked to iron-deficiency anemia in infants and children; it has been named as the cause of cramps and diarrhea in much of the world's population, and the cause of multiple forms of allergy as well. Another outspoken critic of cow's milk is Dr. William Ellis, a retired osteopathic physician and surgeon in Arlington, Texas, who has researched the effects of dairy products for 42 years. Dr. Ellis says dairy products are "simply no good for humans... When Washington D.C.-based pediatrician Dr. Russell Bunai was asked what single change in the American diet would produce the greatest health benefit, his answer was, "Eliminating dairy products."
