Plant Milks: How to Identify a Nutritionally Appropriate Plant Milk to Support a Child's Growth and Development
Recorded: March 27, 2023
Beverages play an important role in supporting a child's growth and development. Cow's milk has long been recommended for children as a primary beverage after they are weaned from human milk or infant formula; however, some children are not able to consume dairy due to medical or dietary reasons. With the rise of different plant milks on the market, their nutritional profile varies greatly and not all may serve as a primary beverage for growing children. This webinar will serve as an introduction to the different types of plant beverages on the market and how to identify a non-dairy alternative that is nutritionally suitable for kids to support proper growth and development. Clinicians will be able to better counsel families and children on a nutritionally appropriate plant milk based on their individual needs and accessibility to support a child's health and overall growth.
