Yours Faithfully, Sarah Blakeney Thank you very much for your letter. Of course you are right. Breast milk has incredible qualities. My little Lily is now 18 months and breast milk didn t come to mind when I wrote the article. It explained that it is because milk is particularly allergenic and can be responsible for many disorders.
Milk is also mucus-forming so is particularly bad for chesty coughs, colds as well as glue ear etc.
Although this is all true, Penny Crowther, the nutrition therapist who collaborated on this article, went on to explain in the article what else should be taken instead of milk in order to get a balance diet. If you intend to cut milk out of your child s diet, great, but you should consult a qualified nutrition therapist, who will help you design a balanced diet for your family. I would hate readers cutting milk out and missing out on the essential nutrients it brings. I went to see Penny Crowther, a nutrition therapist who works at the Art of Health and Yoga Centre in Balham in order to set my mind at rest. I am glad I went.
