Well i've tried cow milk organic and regular and Aubrey seems to get diaper rash when ever she drinks it. Even just a bottle. The almond milk is either silk or blue diamond brand and actually have more then regular cow milk has as far as vitamins and nutritional value goes.

I have to assume you use almond milk because of dairy allergies/intolerence and because of concerns with using too much soy in the diet. If that is the case, then almond milk is a reasonable substitute. Rice, almond, and hemp milks are all fortified so nutrition shouldn't be a huge concern. If you do have any concerns about your child's diet, however, always consult your doctor/pedieatrician or you can consult with a registered dietician about this. Good luck!

I am from the UK and have never heard of this. I don't think I would try it as a milk substitute because it must be very high in fat and protein. If your child is doing ok on it then it works for you but personally it does not appeal to me.
