Cows milk

Hi mommas!
My LO turned 1 a couple of weeks ago, and we recently saw her pediatrician who suggested we start to give her cows milk now that she's at this milestone. I was wondering if you ladies had any recommendations on any specific brand or type of cows milk to introduce to a 12month old. My husband and I follow a regular vegan diet, so we primarily drink almond milk. It's been quite some time since we've drank cows milk, so I'm assuming there's got to be some better quality versions of it at the supermarket. Any advice you can give is much appreciated! Thanks!

That being said, I give my kids cows milk because WIC provides it in abundance and they actually like it (gag), but H and I loathe cows milk. We use rice milk. If WIC didn't provide cows milk, we would modify their diets to ensure they recieve more calcium, vitamin D, and fats from the foods they eat.
