I want to get my 11 month old off from dairy, (for various reasons) therefore I need to stop her milk based formula.
I’m looking for the best alternative option was wondering what milk I should go to.
I have heard the non-kosher best option is Ripple kids. Would like to hear what the best Kosher option would be (good hechsher).
I want her to get the most vitamins and nutrients from the milk that's possible.
Thanks in advance.

Yup while typing my post, I also googled and that's when I added "good hechsher".
I would much rather give her something with a regular good hechsher that I would also eat.

Just because you don't use the hechsher doesn't make it not kosher or not a good hechsher. Chof k is a big reputable hechsher.

If you only hold by certain hechshers, it would be helpful if you specify which ones you hold by. You're not likely to find mainstream products with heimish hechshers.

Why not goats milk? When my son was getting rashes on his face from milk I switched to goats milk for him and he did very well. This was about from 12-18 months old.

None of the commercial milk alternatives are very nutrient dense. The cleanest one I've found is gefen almond milk, it's just milk and almond no additives, enrichers or gums. But it's still mainly water. It works as a sub but not as a food. That being said, your 11mo doesn't really need a milk in his diet, he can get his nutrients from solids.

Is goats milk an option?

Are you looking for lactose free or dairy free?

I’ve never tried it, but oatly milk is o-u. Chobani also has an o-u oat milk.
