DD is allergic to dairy and soya and I'm hoping to put her on coconut milk.

Is your LO on coconut milk? How have they taken to it?

DS has cocounut milk occasionally but not as a main source of milk. Calcium wise Koro is fine. It's the equivalent of a semi-skimmed though and they need a full fat equivalent until two, for calories and fat purposes apparently. You could try mixing a formula with coconut milk?

When desperate I used to mix Koro with some oatly cream, which he loved.

ftr nearly all dairy alternatives have added calcium and vitamins.

we used oat milk for a long time which has as much calcium etc as regular milk, the only thing we found hard was the fat content!
we now use almond milk which is also fortified.

not used coconut milk so can't vouch for whether or not there is a fortified version, but i'd imagine there is
