Alternative to Cow’s Milk?

Question

Hi! So my daughter has a milk protein allergy and is currently on Elecare formula. I know they usually switched to cow’s milk when they are 1. (She’s currently 11 months old)  What are some approved alternatives that have everything they need? I know I’ll find out at her 1 year checkup, just curious right now. Thanks!!

Answer

We do unsweetened Ripple milk.

Answer

Does she have a dietician you can ask? We have the same issue and are supposed to be attempting to reintroduce cows milk (using the milk ladder) to see if allergy is still present as loads of babies grow out of it before 1 years. If not we were given a list of alternatives which I am trying to locate but I was told not to give Rice milk or Soy milk. I remember her saying oat milk or almond milk are good alternatives.

Answer

Almond, cashew, oat,  & soy. My son did almond milk until 2 1/2. His school was a nut free zone and so I either had to switch to soy and provide it for him. He did not like soy at all. The almond milk is very mild. He did not mind coconut. I would buy the almond coconut or cashew blends to mix it up a bit. 
You can also switch to toddler formula, Similac has the sensitive one and Gerber has an infant &toddler soy one. You can also try goat milk, I used to drink that as a kid because I couldn’t do dairy.

Answer

I’ve herd a lot of moms do unsweetened Ripple milk. I’m dairy and soy free right now for my daughter and I’m also drinking ripple, it’s pea protein milk. I think it is one of the closest in nutrients to cows milk.

Answer

Soy, coconut, and almond I believe. This is why we did with my daughter.  It that was 5 years ago. She preferred the almond.
