does milk really matter that much to the baby's health?

If you are giving her the soybean milk she should be OK. Also make sure she gets calcium from other sources such as cheese, yogurt, and even broccoli calcium and vitatim D which are two things milk is good for are very important when it comes to growth and development of a child. It will help her have strong bones and teeth. If she is not drinking milk just make sure she is getting plenty of calcium from other sources.

Well, milk is of course good especially for growing up babies/children. However, if you are feeding your child with the right food and that she is getting the necessary nutrition, then I think its ok. Just think about it this way, if milk is good, then should we give it to a child/baby who is allergic to milk? So, there must be some alternative where to get the protein for growing up babies. I think soymilk is ok, in my opinion.

Normally people are recommending milk in their diet especially with children. People are very much particular to give milk to kids. But some kids don’t like milk like your daughter. I think there is no need of worry as she drinks Soya milk which is an excellent option not only for kids but for elders also. I think many are depending on milk for benefiting the calcium we get from milk but we can easily get more amount of calcium from curd than milk. So go for a substitute and make sure that she is getting sufficient protein and calcium from other products. In my native place people are reluctant to give cow milk to their kids and they prefer goat milk instead and some doctors have the opinion that is it not necessary to give milk to kids, give an egg daily to them.

Well, milk is not new because even ancient people consumed milk before. The egyptians not only drink milk but they also bathe themselves with milk that is why they have healthy skin. Maybe what is new to those ancient people is the Formula/Powdered milk because what they used before was the fresh milk.

here in my country milk is ver helpful to baby because it has many protiens in the milk in our country milk ivery precious and it is good for health.it contains butter,ghee etc...

Milk is the most important source of vitamins and mineral and food especially to new born babies. But it is specially important for a mother to choose the natural method instead of formula milks since the mother's milk contains antibodies that the formulated milk cannot provide. But of course for older children there are still other sources of calcium and vitamins, you just have to ask your doctor about it.

Milk is very important for child's development. There are many nutrients and vitamins coming from milk. It is source of protein, calcium, etc. So for me as a mother aside from eating the right nutrients and right kind of food it is also important to give my child milk.

At the age of three there is not a must to have her dring milk! The main reason for milk is calcium - and you'll have to make sure she gets enough calcium if she's not drinking milk , but since she eats cheese or other diary products it shuld not be a problem at all. Many children can't tolerate milk at all and they survive just fine. Here in Sweden they recommend milk to everyone - young and old (after the age of 1 year) since it's a great source of calcium. Milk is not a must in the diet!

well for three years you have brestfed your daughter well that was good, but i think daily one time at least the child should have a cup of milk well it will help in giving him/her protein ,if she dosent show interest also give her a cup of milk daily , well try giving her baffalo milk or cow milk then soyabean milk it will be good for health.

yeah ofcourse because the babies do not eat the solid food upto certain age which is the main sourse for health.Therefore milk is one of the liquid food which is naturally available and contains all the required protiens.

Milk makes a big difference in a babies' health. Milk helps bones grow strong with its calcium. So, if the babies' bones get stronger earlier the better it is. Milk is really healthy and we really do need it especially babies'.

Milk is good for children. It is necessary for their brain. I have friend who have a child. When his child was young, he always gives his children, and now his children become very smart. I think this is caused by milk and good nutrition.

This week I was at a talk held by a brain scientist who studies the effects of food and children's brain development. She surprised us parents in the room by telling us to give whole milk to our children to insure their brains run optimally. When I spoke with the Dr. afterward she advised me to keep giving my child 2 to 3 glasses of whole milk per day until puberty. I would say keep trying the milk, because another point made by the scientist was that our taste buds change every two weeks. What she may not like now can be tried again, and again, and again. When the 'milk appreciating' taste buds emerge she will like it. :)
