I think we drink original/plain straight up, and use unsweetened for smoothies. unsweetened alone can take getting used to. not sure if that helps. </p> <p>There's also goat's milk, which I hear is very close to cow's, but easier on the tummy. It tastes like goat's cheese to me, which I like, but not all the time. I know many moms who give it to their LO though without problems. Same with hemp, but I absolutely hate the taste of hemp milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soy-milk-for-toddlers#post-1235398 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 08:39:55 +0000 hilsy85 1235398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsbells: @SAHM0811: @jedeve: @scg00387: I bought some to try---ugh! Don't know how you ladies drink it, it tastes awful to me! Well see if lo likes it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soy-milk-for-toddlers#post-1235121 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 01:28:01 +0000 sunny 1235121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also consider hemp milk! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soy-milk-for-toddlers#post-1235118 Fri, 22 Nov 2013 01:26:49 +0000 808love 1235118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We drink the vanilla soymilk from Costco. It's tastier than almond milk to us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soy-milk-for-toddlers#post-1232583 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:49:24 +0000 SAHM0811 1232583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another almond milk fan! I grew up on cow's milk and love it, but only drink it on occasion now. </p> <p>We also drink some coconut milk for good fats. </p> <p>Ditto buying unsweetened first. </p> <p>This link helps me know which products don't include carageenan: <a href="http://www.cornucopia.org/shopping-guide-to-avoiding-organic-foods-with-carrageenan/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cornucopia.org/shopping-guide-to-avoiding-organic-foods-with-carrageenan/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soy-milk-for-toddlers#post-1232535 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:34:18 +0000 jedeve 1232535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I greatly prefer almond milk to soy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soy-milk-for-toddlers#post-1232502 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:23:35 +0000 Mrsbells 1232502@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: try almond milk, we use the plain unsweetened version. It took several tries to get LO to like it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soy-milk-for-toddlers#post-1232457 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:15:29 +0000 Mamaof2 1232457@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah the hormone stuff freaked me out too - we used coconut milk with DS - So Delicious brand </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soy-milk-for-toddlers#post-1232443 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:11:47 +0000 2PeasinaPod 1232443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following this since LO will drink WCM from a bottle, but refuses it from a sippy no matter if it's warm or cold. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soy-milk-for-toddlers#post-1232418 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:06:31 +0000 immabeetoo 1232418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: I hate cows milk and like almond milk. It's sweeter, no grit at all haha that sounds disgusting!! DH doesn't like it bc he thinks its too sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soy-milk-for-toddlers#post-1232407 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 12:05:08 +0000 hilsy85 1232407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@scg00387: that also freaks me out...but I"ve never had almond milk and don't know if it tastes good (and Iguess I'm reluctant to try with LO for that reason). But I guess it does? Is it gritty-tasting/textured at all? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soy-milk-for-toddlers#post-1232362 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 11:53:35 +0000 immabeetoo 1232362@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@hilsy85: soy creeps me out with the estrogen stuff so I use almond and wouldn't hesitate to use it for LO. I use a store brand unsweetened, that doesn't have carrageenan in it. I'd try unsweetened first and then sweetened if that doesn't help. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/soy-milk-for-toddlers#post-1232158 Thu, 21 Nov 2013 10:57:52 +0000 hilsy85 1232158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO is refusing WCM and the pedi recommended mixing soy milk (or almond milk) to try to transition him. If you use soy milk, which brand do you use? The plain vs the vanilla, right? </p>
