We just have cows milk too!
I used to have soya milk for a dairy free child, and DD would have it too. These days DD uses oat milk and I don't have anyone needing 'non dairy' milk.
To be honest, as it is nigh on impossible to buy small cartons of any alternative milk other than Alpro ( or at least, it was! I haven't looked for a while as DD can tolerate cows milk that has been 'cooked' and she also has lactase tablets which help, as it appears to be lactose that she has an intolerance too ), that unless the child is coming most days, and drinking a lot of milk, I think I might be asking parents to send some, as otherwise it is just a waste.
Asda do small cartons of Chocolate Oat Milk which DD likes and is useful to have, as it is also half the price of the Alpro chocolate 'milk' drink!
I think I would be saying to parents that I would obviously cater to a medical/dietary need with milk ( as it is also then dairy free cheese/yogurt/butter as well ) but parental preference needs to be provided by them, as otherwise, they then might attempt to stipulate was bread was bought, what baked beans were provided
( I did have a friend who had a minded child who would 'only' eat heinz !!! ;) ) etc.
