Cashews are like a food group to me.
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

I'm also lactose intolerant, can you not do yogurt and cheese?? I got my first two with milk, then by the time I conceived my 3rd I was LI but I often ate 4 oz of cheese for breakfast (I was watching my weight) and then also would have either full fat yogurt and blueberries or a bowl of cereal with a smallish amount of full fat milk (I can handle teeny amonts of it) or yogurt - I'd often have granola mixed with yogurt.
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!).
I think my primary concern was because cereal is the easiest fix I can make -- I've always loved it, and just avoided it as "useless carbs"/didn't eat breakfast in general, and when I did (and I've been eating it much more frequently while pregnant) eat it, it was with almond milk.

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.

Atomic, this may sound crazy but I’ve been reading about moon phases… I have a ‘red moon cycle’ currently which I didn’t used to have. Meaning my period is coinciding with the full moon. From...
