With the concern of soy not being good for children what can he drink?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Soy is fine: I am not sure what your concern is with soy milk, but it is a safe and commonly used alternative to cow's milk for someone with a dairy allergy or lactose intolerance.

Depends on the age: An infant could have a hydrolysated cow milk infant formula like nutramigen or alimentum or an aminoacid formula like neocate. A toddler may substitute coconut, almond, rice, and hemp milk.
