Hi all. I was wondering if any more experienced parents of dairy free babies could help.
DD is 7.5 months. Diagnosed with CMPI at 5 months. She is on Alfamino milk which is an extensively hydrolysed formula and a dairy free diet.
At our most recent appointment, the dietician gave me some food ideas for her as I was getting in a bit of a rut. She also suggested giving her a little dessert every evening, not only to satisfy her more but to increase her calcium intake. These include recipes like custard, blancmange and rice pudding, all made with her Alfamino milk.
I've made custard tonight, and it really tastes vile using her formula milk! Almost like a savoury taste to it. Does anyone know if I can use the dairy free alternative milks instead eg almond, coconut, soya, rice. Looking online, all I can find is people referring to the fact it is not nutritionally complete for a baby. I'm not using it as a sole nutrition, literally just to make a small dessert each night.
I can ring dietician Monday but wanted to try some alternatives when I go shopping tomorrow.
