Cutting out diary. How do you ensure baby has enough calcium?

[tryingtobemarypoppins]

My DS 13 months, has a terrible runny nose, very loose nappies, was very colicy early on. I have always syspected a milk allergy but ped and GP said to watch and wait. A little sick of watching and waiting so have read and read and now wondering about limiting diary. At 13months how could I approach this ensuring he has enough calcium?

This is difficult to do on your own. You should really see a Dietician.

We are on the waiting list........still waiting......

I know - the waiting is terrible!

Ds2 was given a liquid calcium supplement but we didn't get that until the Dietician agreed it.

Really don't limit dairy if you can possibly avoid it - it is such a nightmare as it crops up everywhere.

Does he eat broccoli? Also could try looking up vegan recipes as they may have ideas

My DD takes Soya milk with added calcium

Can he tolerate goats or sheeps milk/cheese/yog etc?

If we have a day of cows milk with breakfast, yogart, chesse etc etc he is very sympotmatic so I was wondering if to simply cut down, but then what about the calcium levels?

My Ds is allergic to dairy and i got a sheet from the dietician with calcium levels on it. by far and away the highest was a bowl of porridge.

Sesame has really high calcium levels.

As do broccoli and other green veg.
