Target / Market Pantry Milk

My 1-year-old son has thrown up three times in his life (not spit up, but completely emptying the contents of his stomach).  I am wondering if it is related to market pantry milk.  We normally buy Kemps or Arrowhead from Super One, but this week my wife bought it from Target because she was already there.

I read some things on Google related to “Market Pantry Taste” and may just be paranoid, so I figured I would ask. Does anyone else think the market pantry brand of milk has an abnormal aftertaste?

Coop.

No, and I do buy Market Pantry milk sometimes. My kids have all been intolerant of dairy products until about age 18 months. For what that's worth ...

It is more likely your child is lactose intolerant than for a large provider of food, such as Market Pantry, to have something seriously wrong with its milk.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't make sure it comes from a good source by using the site dbrewing mentioned above. 

I tend to trust Target's brand sources more than I do other stores.

Beverly's children are not alone as many pediatricians recommend that children do not consume cow milk until they are 18-24 months of age, as it is more difficult to digest. 

I highly support organic growing/producing practices, but not all "organics" are equal. Take a look at Cornucopia Institute's Organic Dairy Report. Bret's on the money with Cedar Summit.

Yes, the problem is he's too young for milk, not the taste. There are actually many foods that take time before a digestive system is developed enough for them (such as oatmeal and cereal, biologically terrible "first foods"). Soy or goat's might by good substitutes, even lactose intolerant people can drink goat milk because the proteins are different. In fact, babies generally have hard time breaking down fomula because of the lactose, which is why they stay "full" longer on it. Some can't drink it at all unless it's soy based.

I've been buying (lactose free) Market Pantry milk for years now, if I'm in Target and need milk. It's only been the last couple times that I noticed a weird taste in it, to the point where I Googled it today because I just opened a second brand new carton to the same effect. Don't think I'll be buying it anymore, but as for comments above, it seems to be this brand, not necessarily intolerance of your child's stomach.
