As soon as the child starts on supplementary or bottle food, natural brown rice is the best foundation for good health. From this time on, carrot juice, which is rich in calcium and minerals and easily digested, can also be given. Later, almond milk with fruit juices may be introduced. Be sure to obtain healthy milk, whether it is cow’s or sheep’s milk. Unfortunately, milk is not necessarily 100 per cent safe: in many places the cows are tubercular and judging by the way they are imprisoned continuously in stalls, it is not surprising that they become sick. Good and safe milk can only come from cows living on pasture and under natural, healthy conditions. Sheep’s milk is better than cow’s milk, and if you are able to obtain it from free-roaming sheep, you will have the best milk possible for your small children. It will be richer in calcium and have greater nutritional value because of the animals’ healthy outdoor life. Goat’s milk can also be given occasionally, but not on a regular basis. You will find more useful information in the entry on ‘Infant Nutrition’.
