I just saw this topic and would like to share my experience on the subject.

When I received the same article, I asked my daughter's pediatrician about it. To my surprise, he said his two daughters (age 4 anmd 6) have not drank any milk since they were 10 months old. He said, humans do not need milk and gave the example of animals, as no animal babies drink milk as adults. He did suggest that I give her a multi vitamin tablet every day when stop the milk.

The problem was for me that my daughter loved her milk, so I started looking for alternatives. After reading confusing things about soy, I decided not to switch to soy milk completely. In the end I found an Oat drink, that my daughter loves drinking. I found it in wholefoods market. It is organic, enriched with Vitamin A & D, excellent source of calcium. Below is a link of this product.

Unfortunately, the store seems to run out of it very often, so I stock up whenever they have and if I run out of it then I give her soy milk.

She is still eating one yogurt and one cheese stick a day. She is asthmatic and used to be sick all the time. After, I stopped milk, started multi vitamins and giving her flu shot, she has not been sick for the past 2-3 months, which is so hard to believe,..

I also tried to give her Dr. Sears's fish oil, but she hated that and any other fish oil I tried. Then I found flaxseed oil for toddlers. It is called Toddler DHA, the brand is Spectrum essentials and it is organic. In the supplement facts it says: ALA 300 mg, DHA 125mg and EPA 9mg. I wonder if this is good based on the comments above.

Hi Ayesha,

Many thanks for your response. I actually want to get this for my 20 month old daughter. I am from Turkey, living in USA. She does not hear any conversation in Turkish, as I have no relatives or Turkish friends here. I would like her to get exposed to written language as well. I thought that a structured program may help her learning it more efficiently.

Thanks again...

Hi,

Has anybody used Rosetta Stone to teach foreign language? The reviews I read in amazon.com are confusing and the product is very pricy. I would like to teach my daughter Turkish and there are not many products available for that, therefore considering Rosetta Stone.

Thanks

Hi Sapna1322,

You said you tried this and it worked. I was wondering how? Is there a website that sells CDs for this or you need to take a class somewhere? How can we use this for our children?

This article is dated August 12, 1966, so the numbers make sense...

That makes sense. Thank you both for your advise!

Hi all,

My laptop is pretty old and does not comply with the minimum standards of Brillkids software. I would like to get a new computer for my 20 month old daughter. Any suggestions in regards to brand and type? I think a desktop is better than a laptop as she likes to throw things on the floor :-)

Thanks
