Cows milk

I've been thinking about this for awhile.
So I know kids "need" whole milk for brain development after a certain age (1?). What if you don't want them to have cow's milk though?? Does almond/soy milk have the fattyness that they need??

idk but foods like fish, avocados, nuts have the fattyness they need. and since almond is a nut, maybe it does

I'm not sure about replacing cows milk but I do know almond milk is really, really good for... well, everyone. My mom has chocolate almond milk at her house and my son loves that stuff. He always has it when he's over there to visit.
