“Milk” Versus “Drink”
Most commercially available cows' milk substitutes use the word “milk” in their names, although they are not the milk produced by a lactating animal. Some people prefer to call such a beverage a “drink” as opposed to “milk” to avoid confusing the child who knows she cannot drink cows' milk. Whatever you call your milk alternative of choice, make sure that your child knows the difference between what's okay to drink and cows' milk, which is not okay on a casein-free diet.
