I have twin Boys that are now 16 months old. Unfortunately they have never been able to handle dairy very well especially milk, cottage cheese, or yogurt. It has just recently been communicated to me that the government food program consultant for my daycare has said I must give the boys cows milk and not the coconut and almond milk combo I've been giving them. A doctors note will not suffice to exclude them from the requirement. I was told the only other option is soy milk, which nutritionally falls short of every other milk option. Is there another option? I've offered to provide dha and protein supplements in conjunction with the coconut and almond milk I've been providing and was told that does not work either. Why am I not able to choose what my child is able to drink or not drink?
