Help please! DD is 20mo and I'm pregnant with DC2. DD still breastfeeds twice a day, for nap and bedtime, but I'm stopping this ASAP as it has become too painful.
The problem is that even with 2 bfs a day (which were short, more or less just to get her to sleep), the paediatrician said she's not getting anywhere near enough calcium in her diet. She has cow's milk in her porridge which is 2-3 times a week, a scraping of butter on toast, cheese baked in some things, and homemade frozen yoghurt every so often. She doesn't like cows milk to drink or yoghurt (plain/greek with fruit or ones full of flavouring & sugar), and won't even try them anymore. Raw cheese gets spat out. She eats broccoli but not enough for her daily calcium requirements.
What else can I do? We thought about mixing some powdered milk into things she eats but it seems silly. Please say someone has experienced this? What did you do?
She did have suspected cow's milk protein allergy as a small baby but we see no signs of it anymore.
