There are many varieties of milk available and choosing the healthiest type of milk to suit your child can be confusing. Whether you're looking beyond cows milk for health reasons or you would like to experiment with plant based alternatives available, you may well wonder which is the best type of milk to feed your child. Most kids when past weaning should avoid milk altogether because all their nutritional requirements is provided by the food they eat. In the initial stages of changing from one type of milk to another, slowing start dilating the regular milk with the alternative milk and this can help with the differing tastes and helpful for even the fussiest of eaters. Is your child reacting to milk? There are two common types of reactions to dairy products. Lactose Intolerance Lactose is the natural sugar found in dairy products.

The skin is the body’s largest vital organ and accounts for approximately 15% of total body weight. If your child suffers from a skin condition such as eczema, rashes, pimples, dermatitis or acne, these are all typical signs of something else going on in their body. You may not realise there is a direct link between the health of your child’s gut and their skin and this is called the Gut-Skin Axis. If the gut is inflamed, leaky and not functioning at its best, this can negatively undermine the health of your child’s skin. Skin conditions such as eczema and rashes are often immune system problems caused by a leaky-gut and an imbalance in friendly bacteria in either the gut, skin or both. Repairing your child’s gut and nourishing their friendly bacteria is an essential step to improve skin health. Once healed, you will notice improvements in your child’s skin that will range from general relief of the symptom to a complete resolution of their condition.

Children who are raised with animals from a young age are exposed to an assortment of bacteria that reside on their pets. Furry family members can bring countless 'healthy' bacteria found in nature inside the home which is carried on their paws and fur. It's this exposure to a diverse range of beneficial bacteria that experts believe is responsible strengthening a child's immune system. There is a diverse range of bacteria living in your child's gut and animal exposure helps to increase the different types of bacteria and the more bacteria the better. These microbes work hand-in-hand with the immune system to fight infections and they also help to calm it down from reacting to harmless influences too. Over Active Immune Function = Allergies, Eczema and Asthma When kids are exposed to animals early on, they are less likely to suffer from allergies including asthma and eczema than kids who don't live with animals. Next time you see your furry family member, give them a big cuddle because they act as a lovely probiotic.
