Notice that I didn't mention babies at all in my message.
What I did write about was humans adding dairy to their diet.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheese#Origins for approximate time-line
(yes, I know that wikipedia is not a definitive source but I'm lazy)

Would you please tell me what century you refer to as "prebottle days"?
Then I suggest you look up infant mortality in that era.

Absolutely nonsensical.

Oh? And what exactly are those "laws of nature" that you refer to?
Best wishes,
