What do you give milk allergy suffer for breakfast?!

[BeansInBoots]

Because I'm struggling!
Ds hates cow and gate banana porridge made with nutramigen. No other 'baby cereals' are suitable for CMPA
Looked at the adult rolled oats, the porridge oat dust stuff! And even though there's no milk in it it says it's not suitable (does anyone know why?)
So I'm going to try and blend some weetabix before adding milk and seeing how he does. He's 7mo with a developmental delay and CMPA so really struggles with any lumps at all. Help?!

none of the weetabix/oatibix seems to have a milk warning so you could crush them up before adding your warm dairy free milk of choice. I used to add fruit puree to give different flavours

We use organix porridge with neocate, weetabix with necocate and banana or some sort of fruit puree, we tried coconut yogurt with fruit puree but he's not keen, normal porridge with neocate, oatly or koko milk and again fruit puree (soya I've heard is best but my DS is soya allergic too) We use neocate more than milk alternatives (although we do use them) because his dietician told us to as he doesn't get enough neocate though drinking bottles. Fruit smoothie might be worth a go you could make that the right consistency for him?

My dd had a dairy allergy we use to give her weetabix mixed up in soya milk (+1 carton for toddlers) cheerios, coco pops once in a while as a treat.

rice milk is not meant to be given to children under 6 as it had high levels of merCury or sum thing in it

The tesco dairy free "yoghurts" are very nice, dc has those a lot.

If you're looking at cheaper options, we make our own oat milk, its very easy to do and costs a fraction of buying it. You can also make your own oat yoghurts and creams if you so desire!

Also (IMO) it doesn't really matter whether it's a breakfast food at this age , just as long as he's tasting.

Totally agree with that: people get too hung up on specific breakfast foods in the morning, when it really doesn't matter at all.

When on milk formula ds was projectile vomiting up to 25 times a day, and covered in eczema- he was also failing to thrive.. Not too sure where on the scale that comes in terms of severity?

Will reply to the rest of the comments later, but thank you for all your help! Will be copying this thread for reference, I might ask for it to be moved somewhere it can stay if anyone else wants it kept?

Have you seen a dietician? They should be advising on weaning too.

We've been referred to the dietician but it's taking forever!!

Will ask for this to be moved, I didn't know there was a section! Thanks :)

Dd badly allergic to dairy.We also ignore the 'may contain milk' defensive labelling on the grounds that it says it on almost everything. The only thing we have ever had an issue with is dark chocolate, but then we have a suspicion that there is something else in there that she is allergic to, as even 'dairy free' vegan chocs make her mouth hurt (which as reactions go we can take the risk of anyway). Certainly never had an issue with instant porridge, which we used to make up with oat milk fortified with a fat/glucose powder (on prescription, we stopped using it at age 3ish). Though now dd refuses to have porridge anyway she sits and eats plain untoasted bagels . Ironically it is now ds and dh, who are not allergic to anything, who eat the instant porridge and oatly every morning!

Sorry, I mean we got the fat/protein powder on prescription,we added it to bought oat milk. It made it very tasty !

Our DD has cmpa and we are just about to start weaning her.

Our dietician said to also avoid soy initially as about 10% of infants with cmpa are also allergic to soy. They said oat milk is good.

I've also been wondering about breakfast, and have been looking at porridge oats. Would normal porridge oats be too rough? Could I just wizz them in a blender to make them finer?

We use oatly the fortified with calcium and vitamins.
Ready brek
Fruit pots with rice
Banana or fruit purées
Rice Krispies
Soya yogurts are recommended by my nutritionist but I'm aware of the high sugar content.

How old is he? Sorry if I missed this. We gave dd alpro soya 1+, it is much more palatable that nutramigen.

Morning folks. We're going to move this thread to 'Allergies' in a moment at the OP's request.

He loves broccoli with sweet potato! Bonus!!

What is oat milk?! Can anyone send me a link? There is a vast amount of it when I google 'oat milk'!

I didn't even think to check meat products :/ do you literally have to check everything?!

Does anyone make their own oat milk?! We are on a pretty tight budget so try to save where we can, if we have to buy it then we will, but this 'recipe' looks pretty easy....

What do you think?
Also, can I use oat milk in cooking? So in a lasagne sauce or something? Ideally I want to be able to cook dairy free for the whole family, but there's not a chance I'm eating nutramigen!

When can he have the soya milk in any kind of large amount? This is so hard, sorry for all the questions!!

We use this www.oatly.com/. You can buy it in Sainsburys and Asda, occasionally tesco. It is not cheap - about 1.35 a litre - but imo the tastiest of the non-dairy milks. It occasionally comes on special offer and then we buy a shed-load! We use it in white sauce etc no problem. I expect you could make your own, the only problem with that would be the lack of fortification. Oatly (not the organic kind but the normal one) has afaik the same amount of calcium etc as milk. It is lower in fat though, hence the reason why we added extra 'fortifying' powder to it when DD was a baby/toddler - the dietician should be able to prescribe it. I'm afraid I can't for the life of me remember what it was called, sorry!
