What Milk Alternatives Work for a Toddler with Lactose Issues?

I noticed right away after giving my daughter cow milk at 12 months that her stomach didnt take it well . Had diarrhea right away. Than tried lactaid still no . Tried almond milk had diarrhea after two hours from drinking every time . Tried soy milk she didnt even drink it i guess didnt like the taste. Ladies did any of u had this problem? What did u guys do? Any advice what i should try . I have been researching but still nothing. She loves milk she wont go to sleep or start day without it. Still on toddler formula, but I really want her off because she is growing and plus its getting hard keeping up with both kids formulas

It took my daughter a month or so until she could handle cows milk I just kept her on toddler formula until then

Milk isn’t necessary but similar sensitive is cows milk based but broken down so it’s going to take time for her body to learn to break the proteins down.

My daughter has never liked milk. We tried a couple of kinds, but she always wanted breastmilk. I've weaned her from breastmilk and she still doesn't drink milk. Pedi is fine with it because she still has dairy through whole milk yogurt, cheese, and ice cream. She mostly drinks water.

Coconut or goats milk. My dd did goats milk after 1 and then cows milk. The goats milk is easier on their digestive system.

@salogogo np and I was just thinking this also because I literally was breaking my head over him not drinking milk and me having to get him toddler formula which isn't the problem but I knew that he needed to transition to whole milk sooner rather than later but I'm glad that we have experienced moms on here so we can all get that knowledge and pass it on as well💕💕💕

@katemarie, as long as she will make the switch im okay taking her time because she is growing plus she is already a picky eater

@salogogo ohh okay. When you said toddler formula I assumed it was just the regular kind, sorry. If she's been on Similac sensitive and then couldn't tolerate cows milk that would make sense. Definitely try switching her formula over to almond or soy milk slowly. If she has a sensitive stomach it'll help.

I did what @leahkay said because at first he just wouldn't take it and not only that you really don't want to give him like straight up milk because it'll mess up their stomach a lot more than gradually introducing it (I made this mistake the first attempt) I did 2 oz of whole milk and 4 oz (or 6 depending on how much your Lo eats) of formula and then I switched up after a week of doing that to 4 ounces of whole milk and 2 oz of formula and I think I did that one for about 2 weeks just to see how it takes on his stomach and then after that I switched to whole milk all together and he's doing good now

I would talk to her pediatrician about it. Sometimes when you make the switch to cows milk it takes their belly time to adjust. That's why you're supposed to slowly switch over. Like mix 2 ozs of cows milk with 4 ozs of formula(make the formula like you usually would), and keep adding more milk over time until it's all milk. I'm guessing she doesn't have a cows milk allergy if she has used regular formula and toddler formula no problem. It contains cows milk.
