DD has been bf up to now and weaned from 6mo. She is eating 3 meals a day now but quantities are small and its hard to give high calorie stuff with the dairy allergy. She still has 4 bf in day and one in night
She was always tiny 0.4 centile but now has fallen off charts altogether.
I have to go back to work next month (3 full days) and it isn't an expressing friendly job plus I can hardly express anything anyway.
I had really hoped to just bf am and pm on work days but with the concerns over her weight and allergy I guess its not a good idea.
Do I have to get a dairy free formula for the daytime? Can she have soy? What about just rice milk for drinks in day if I carry on bf when with her.
My GP said ask the HV. HV just kept saying I should express she said soy isn't recommended and there are no good substitutes. I was hoping to be referred for specialist advice but they don't seem that bothered.
V. confused and need a plan please help.
