We did cows milk at a year, but I do know people who have done that toddler formula for a little bit- I think it's just gets expensive to do that- I don't see any nutritional value in the toddler formula.

Rice milk I have no experience with, but every doctor I know, including my dad, my sister, and brother in law said to stay away from anything soy.

I have a friend who went to almond milk instead - but I'm honestly not sure if it was an allergy, sensitivity or taste issue. I'm sure your pedi would have ideas if you didn't want to do WCM!

We won't be doing WCM at a year, but I plan to keep breastfeeding as long as possible, and possibly do rice milk or almond milk instead. She loves her yogurt and gets some cheese and egg yolk, so i am not worried about her not having it.

We had breastmilk left beyond a year.. so we introduced it slowly.

This time I have quite a stash, so it will be a long while before she gets cows milk.

If you google, there's information on the fat content of other milks (almond, coconut, etc.). I think most of them don't have enough fat for brain building (that's why you do WCM until 2). If you can get enough full-fat yogurt into them, it's not an issue, but it's easier for most kids to drink it. BM is obviously fine, toddler formula is a rip-off.
