Do you think cashew milk would work as a good dairy substitute when trying for a boy, then? Not trying to cut out calcium (especially with the study I saw about women eating cereal having more boys), but I'm lactose intolerant, so high fat dairy sounds like I'd actually end up losing more nutrition if you get my drift ;)Quote:

I have an older but still informative essay here on milk replacers. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...Pink-and-Blue=
Thank you! I can manage cheese and yogurt definitely, and even butter, but most full fat dairy (milk, cream, sour cream, ice cream, whipped cream) has unpleasant side effects (which I CAN handle, if need be... but my husband might feel differently!).Quote:

yep me too, boo for ice cream. :/
Before you make up your mind I do want you to have a look at this essay - vegetable sourced fats are a bit of a gray area with swaying. Since the milk replacers are high in Omega 6 fats, if you're not getting as much or MORE Omega 3, too much almond milk may may sway pink a little. http://genderdreaming.com/forum/gend...pink-blue.html
Thanks atomic!
Quick question: would you say cottage cheese sways more blue or pink? I've actually always been a fan of it, but hadn't really been eating it before conceiving my daughter. Full fat cottage cheese seems like it'd point blue because of the, natural dairy, protein and sodium?
Yes while there are no magic foods and most everything can fit in a sway diet, full fat cottage cheese I think would be a nice addition to a blue sway diet. :)
