What kind of milk should I start my 1 year old on?

What kind of milk shoudl I start my 1 year old if my family and I do not drink cows milk?

A blend of oat and almond milk or Ripple Kid’s milk

These are plant based and was recommended by my kids PCP as they can’t have soy and dairy products

You can start really any type of milk. As long as your child gets an adequate amount of calcium and has a diet that accounts for their alloted vitamin intake from food.

1% Whole milk or a fortified soy milk.

What does your child’s pediatrician recommend? That’s where you need to start.

Whole milk. 3%. Lots of good fat.

Vitamin d/whole milk is what’s recommended because of the fats, they’re needed for brain development. So you’d need to find a substitute that has a high fat percentage.
