If the baby is 12 months old, why won't she give the baby a cup?

I surely wouldn't bother with an SNS for a 12 month old.  The baby can nurse
when he likes, but take a cup if he's thirsty or with meals.  She can do
cow's milk, soy milk, rice milk, or water in the cup.  

In my strong opinion, as the mother of a nut-allergic child, I would stay
away from almond milk, as it is recommended that children not be introduced
to nuts under the age of two.  (Almond milk is generally just made from
ground almonds with water added). 

She doesn't have to give up nursing, simply because a cup is introduced.
But rather than "supplement feeding with an SNS" I would "complementary
feed" with a cup!  Being pregnant and having a toddler, why make herself so
much work?
