If your child couldn’t have actual dairy what milk would you substitute with? And why is it better then the other milks?

Did she handle soy milk okay? I heard soy milk can be bad for you if you eat or drink to much

@mommakaylax3 she handled it fine. She was on soy formula/milk as needed to supplement breastfeeding ( I bf until 3), so she was maybe getting 9 oz of it max a day...it was fine and healthy as the alternative considering cow's milk was basically poison

It does! Two of my kids have of had an allergy to it and my other son it just messes with his stomach so we try to avoid it especially when drinking it

I like coconut milk as well but I don’t think it holds good enough nutritional amount for a one year olds goals.

@mommakaylax3, you can make shakes with it add bananas and stuff that’s what I do

I still use almond milk for my middle child but that’s because he was breastfed till 2 and he had a dairy allergy as well like my daughter but he doesn’t have the allergy anymore and hates the taste of actual milk. But I did notice almond milk has the less protein ect in it then other milks.my daughter will be 1 next month and I want her to have a good milk that will still make her gain properly if that makes sense. Thank you for your input 😀

I just worry about soy because I heard to much soy isn’t good for you.

@mommakaylax3, too much milk isn’t good for you in general. 1 year olds can drink 1- 2 cups per day of soy milk just like with any other milk.
