Hi, hoping someone can help. My ds is allergic to dairy products - both cows' and goats'. He will be a year old on Wednesday and although I am still bfing, I would like to find an alternative for daytimes. My HV just recommends Nutramigen but we have tried it several times and he will not drink it at all, and I don't blame him after trying it myself. Now he's coming up to a year I am wondering whether some of the dairy-free milks in the supermarkets might be suitable, does anyone have any knowledge on the subject? I am unsure about them as I've never had any experience of them - is rice or oat better than soy? Also if we go down this route I'm a bit worried about fat content - they are all low fat whereas I know full fat milk is recommmended for 1 year olds who can drink normal milk. How can I provide this extra fat to ensure he has plenty? Any advice welcome! Many thanks.
