Dairy free baby food for holiday?

4 replies

We're on holiday next week and i was wondering if anyone can recommend any dairy free baby food for a 6 month old. she is highly sensitive and will not tolerate even the slightest trace of milk.

She also reacts to rice(!) and sesame.

Normally she has home made food but that isn't possible next week.

I see plum baby food say dairy free, but i can't work out from their website if they are likely to be made in a factory handling milk or not.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

TIA

bananas
avocados

tbh at 6m most of her nutrition is coming from bm/formula anyway and a week of less food (or less varieties) shouldn't hurt.

where are you going?

Sorry don't know why i said 6 months - she'll be 7 months next week.

She already has a fair bit of food - around 5-6 large ice cube sized portions and a wide variety.

She will eat some things such as baby corn or broccoli herself, but more is wasted rather than eaten and then she screams for food after!

Are any of the baby foods safe?

We'll be travelling around, so i need to take something with me in addition to bananas etc.

Are you staying in this country or going abroad?

If you're dstaying in this country it should be very easy to find dairy free stuff. Most baby food will state on the label whether it is dairy free or not without having to trawl through the ingredients.

If you are going abroad then, the Ella's house stuff is organic and dairy free and very portable as it comes in sachets if you want to take some with you.

We're going abroad, so would need to take something with us. I bought some Organix food the other day, but when i tried it, she was v ill. I then found on their website that they couldn't guarantee it was dairy free!

Will try Ella's house - thanks for that one, hadn't heard of them.
