I agree.. cow's milk is for cows and human baby should be on human milk ... ie breastmilk. I fed my son till about 1 1/2... then he was willing to go on organic soy formula.
I don't know whether he is gifted... but he is surely "different" in the classroom. He is only in nursey.. and do his own thing.. while knows what is happening in the main group. He would join all of a sudden if it become interesting. And last year in playgroup, his teacher lets him because he knows all the songs that she taught even though he was not sitting in the circle with the rest of the class.
Undoubtedly... he is very healthy... would eat anything (almost)... Selfishly, I did it for myself when he was born... cuz I got back in shape a lot quicker and could get back into my Size S clothes 6 months after he was born!
