Transition milk: plant based or cows milk?

Question

I know us December moms have a few months before transitioning to milk but what are you going with? I've been thinking about this because I want to make the best choice and 90% sure I'm going with almond milk but still thinking about it! What's everyone else doing.... and before people come at me telling me cows milk is the only milk, almond milk has more calcium and better nutrition so he wouldn't be deficient in anything

Answer

We plan on going with almond milk because my daughter has a milk allergy, and don’t know if she’s out grown it yet.

Answer

Almond milk is high in nutrients, but only has calcium if it’s been added. It’s also low in protein, calories, and fat.  All things that I believe are needed for growing toddlers and are easier to get from dairy milk.  
Though, you can also get all of that from other sources, so if you have a good eater with a balanced diet, you can pick whatever drink (even water) you want.

Answer

My sister in law uses a milk called ripple. It’s non dairy & high in protein low in sugar & has lots of calcium. I don’t think you can find it everywhere though. She lives in Maine & I haven’t looked for it yet in Tennessee.

Answer

I believe that with babies only cows milk is appropriate. I may be wrong but I want to say I read it some where. Do we need to use the toddler transition formula stuff or can we just go straight to milk? Also, when do we start transitioning?

Answer

Have you checked out hemp milk? It is pretty good and has protein, omegas and lots of calcium. They sell it at most grocery stores around here (oregon). I used to work for a couple drs and that is what they used for their toddlers, I never heard of it til I worked for them. We are going to breastfeed as long as we can and I have a few hundred ounces in the freezer stockpiled for later.
