Cow's milk, soya or something else?

[maternitart]

I'm going back to work when my DS is 10 months old and I'm hoping to BF and express, but once he is 1 in not sure I will want to continue expressing and am wondering what he could drink at nursery.

I don't drink much cow's milk myself mainly for ethical reasons and I think he may have a sensitivity to it too so would like to investigate other options.

I'm also a bit wary as a vegetarian family of giving him too much soya (as we already eat soy beans, tofu etc).

Can anyone recommend any alternatives please? Would nut or oatmilk be ok?

You may be able to give him water during the day and continue to bf morning and evening?

Agree he doesn't really need milk in the day at this age if you are bfing. However if you think he is sensitive to cows milk you need to get a proper diagnosis. Have you read the allergy uk info?

Soy milk shouldn't be given as a replacement to bfing or ff unless advised to be a Paed.

Don't have much advice, but I'm in the same position. Started back to work at 7 months, now at 9 and hoping to make it to 12 with bf and expressing. But DS is def sensitive to dairy and I don't know what I should do post 12 months. I guess I'm just curious as to whether he needs cows milk at all?

Approach do a milk suitable for age 1 and over although that is soya. You can however get little cartons of koko coconut milk with a straw that look ideal for taking to nurseries (if he can use a straw)

Approach? Alpro sorry iPhone fail

Thanks, planning to BF to a year unless he self weans of course but I'm not sure after that. I don't think husband or family would be v keen and while I wouldn't let that stop me, if I am in two minds not having their support might make it harder. I guess I'll tackle that when the time comes!
