how much milk should my child drink?

Question

What can a child drink that is allergic to milk?

Answer 1

< 24 ounces: Children should drink less than 24 ounces of cow's milk a day. Drinking more may lead to iron deficiency anemia and decrease solid food intake. Children over the age of 1 should be using milk as a drink, not a meal and should be starting to get the majority of their calories from a wide variety of solid foods, not just milk.

Answer 2

< 24 ounces: I agree with dr webb. Understand that bovine milk was designed for calfs, not people. Milk is a heavily promoted & well accepted way to get calcium in our diet but is not necessary if other calcium sources, including yogert, cheese, cottage cheese are used.Large amounts of bovine milk can irritating a kids gut & lead to blood loss & anemia. I have transfused a few over the years that drank 40+/ d.

Answer 3

1-2 years: Most babies can start with simple shape sorters before their first birthday. Simple puzzles with basic shapes can be done as early as 1-2 years, and watching your child advance to more complicated puzzles can be very rewarding. Some children master this early on, others take longer. If you have any concerns about her development, speak to your pediatrician.

Answer 4

0 years: The whole world is a puzzle to them. The only thing that's age-dependent is size of puzzle pieces -- they should not be such that the child can choke on them, below 3 years of age, or breakable.

Answer 5

Not really known: The cause of gastroschisis is not known, but there are certain statistical associations such as younger maternal age, alcohol consumption or smoking during pregnancy, & certain medications or infections. For more information go to the birth defects homepage of the cdc at: www.Cdc.Gov/ncbddd/birthdefects and select specific birth defects in the left column; scroll down to "gastroschisis".

Answer 6

Unknown: The cause of gastroschisis is not known.

Answer 7

Gastroschisis: See http://www.Cdc.Gov/ncbddd/birthdefects/gastroschisis.Html?. Gastroschisis is usually not associated with a genetic disorder. The incidence is increased in teen pregnancies, early prenatal exposure to alcohol drugs that constrict blood vessels, like Pseudoephedrine or cocaine, methamphetamine. & tobacco. Abdominal wall defects occur at 5-10 wks.' gestation, often , before pregnancy diagnosis.

Answer 8

Yes, possible: Impotence refers to the inability to have functional erections but you should have sperm. We have several methods to obtain the sperm which can be used for icsi. You should get evaluated for impotence in case treatment works, then icsi not needed. Further, better sex-life. Hope this helps.

Answer 9

It depends: There are two types of tibial hemimelia. The bilateral "syndrome" affects both legs and is believed to be autosomal dominant, so there would be a 50:50 chance that another child will be born with it. The unilateral tibial hemimelia (1 leg affected) is thought to be autosomal recessive and a 25% chance (1 in 4) of a child being born with it, and a 50% chance the child will be a carrier.

Answer 10

No: Not to my knowledge.
