Does cows' milk not suit you and your family? Are you looking for an alternative?

This week we are inviting you to send in your questions to consultant dietitian Helen Bond. Helen is a state registered dietitian and operates her own practice in Derbyshire. Send your question about milk to Helen before the end of Friday 29 June and we'll link to her answers on Thursday 12 July.

This Q&A is sponsored by St Helen's Farm
St Helen's Farm is the leading goats' milk dairy in the UK and has been farming since 1986 and is based in 500 acres in East Yorkshire, where it cares for its herd of goats and operates a modern dairy, using 100% fresh British goats' Milk.

@BodenBoredom

shockers, for any infant I'd recommend breastmilk (from a Bank, if necessary) or non-dairy milks. There is even a 'Junior' brand of soya milk on the market now, by Alpro. The only non-dairy milk I wouldn't give to an infant is rice milk, but otherwise, soya, oat, hemp, almond, hazelnut etc milks are all great - especially the brands fortified with vitamin D and calcium. There are plenty of dairy-free alternative margarines too, of course. The much-needed calories, protein, calcium and iron for an infant can easily and healthily be obtained without dairy products. :)

MNHQ, I really think it inappropriate for a 'scientific' Discussion about milk to be sponsored by the UK's largest goat milk farm.

Q&As are regularly sponsored and when this happens we always make this clear. Our policy is that we only choose Q&As on subjects that we think will be of interest to mumsnetters and that the expert or person answering the questions is not allowed to plug their own products/ or show any bias. When we set this Q&A up we envisaged this being a general foody discussion but we can see the questions some of you have asked have changed that emphasis slightly. The Q&A closes on Friday and we'll await the answers.
