Is there an alternative I can give my baby other than cows milk?

Question

We dont drink cows milk, we drink almond milk. The thought of cows milk makes me nauseous (no judgement to anyone who does it's just a personal preference) . If it's best for my baby I'll obviously do it. His 1 year appointment isnt until the end of the month but I just thought I'd get an idea of what we are going to have to do.

Answer

We use ripple. It actually holds up great nutritionally if you compare it to cows milk.

Answer

So pea milk is the best non dairy milk for the vitamins and less salt etc you can google it and itll show you the differences in each non dairy milk, soy is next best but not near it at all then coconut almond etc but none are anywhere near as good as pea milk... Ive been researching as we are the same as you... Ive never tried pea but im gona get it for my son after seeing the differences xx

Answer

Do you feed him other dairy products?  My son's doctor told me that the benefit from dairy products is the fat content (something about it helping their brain). He said not to worry about milk per say, but just try to get in 6oz of dairy products in some form daily plus other healthy fats.

Answer

Pea Milk!

Answer

I'd avoid soy. It's not the best for boys. If I remember correctly, it can lower testosterone. 
Plenty of boys and men are fine on a soy diet, just wanted to throw it out there. Obviously, do your own research, but there's a starting point.

Answer

My friend is vegan and they give their son soy milk. Her doctor knows they are vegan and hasn't said anything against it.

Answer

Talk to his pedi about it. Some kids can take other milk, done need the nutrients in cow milk.
