Question
Can toddlers drink plant milk instead of cow’s milk?
Little Lunches Expert Answer
Yes—some plant milks can work for toddlers, but not all offer the same nutrition as cow’s milk. Pick an unsweetened, fortified option (often soy or pea) with protein, calcium, vitamin D, and healthy fats. Try not to use low‑protein milks like almond as a main drink.
