What to do?

[Kazmar]

When Annabelle turned 12 months I started her on cows milk as thats what I was 'told' to do

Now I dont buy cows milk and dont intend to. We drink soy milk.....

Will Lucy be ok to have that now? She's still bfing

[Tinks]

I'd say that would be fine.

Just did a little research, dont think soy is the best option. Might look at rice milk etc. What Im worried about her missing out on the goodness cows milk can offer....

Errr.. forgive my ignorance, but what can cows milk provide her with that your breastmilk can't?

Rice or oat milk fortified with calcium are better than soy or cows milk. I personally don't think soy is all it's cracked up to me. But don't feel like you *have* to put her on something, just your breastmilk is still fine. DS starting having rice milk at night time from 14 months as I went back to work and expressing was becoming too hard.

Are you weaning? If not then why offer anything? Dd is almost 2 and has only had other milk on cereal...otherwise it's all breastmilk (not that I have any anymore since being pg).
