I am giving my 1 year old organic whole milk. Soon ater she is done with the milk she throws it all up. what?

You probably don't want to give her milk yet- it seems like she's not tolerating it well. She may be lactose intolerant or have an allergy. If it is the lactose (milk sugar) that bothers her, she may do better with cheese (especially hard cheese) and yogurt. If she has an allergy then the milk protein might be a problem. I would talk to your pediatrician about it but consider avoiding milk for at least a few months and try it again later. milk or formula can provide nutrients, and combined with other calcium and protein sources she needs she can have all her nutritional needs met. I would not try to give her soy milk yet as it is a top allergen and many babies sensitive to dairy are also sensitive to soy. You might find it necessary to avoid milk for another year or so. Sometimes babies can be sensitive to things and then outgrow the sensitivity- only time will tell. Good luck!
