I have a family that has two children (4yo and 17 months) and have them drinking two different kinds of milk/milk alternate other than what I offer. There are no allergies to cow's milk, but mom has 4yo only drinking almond milk and has the 17 month old only drinking organic whole milk. I have no idea why she wants them drinking two different alternate milk options and have never thought it my place to ask why.
My question is: is it my responsibility to purchase and offer these alternates for them instead of the standard whole milk and 1 percent milk that all of the other children drink? Or is it the same as what we are required to do for infants: offering one type of formula and if the parents want them to have a different kind, it's the parents responsibility to bring it for them?
Mom currently brings both alternate milks, but it got me thinking about whether or not I am supposed to be offering/purchasing it myself.
