DS is 10 months and has a CMP allergy diagnosed so far based on symptoms (RAST testing next week). He is breastfed and totally dairy free. We tried and tried with nutramigen but he won't take it even heavily disguised (I even made it into custard!).

I'm back at work at beginning of june and beginning to panic about his calcium intake. IF I feed him morning , night and in the night if he asks will this be enough?

Allergy consultant doesn't want him to have rice/ soya / oat milk products or nuts/fish/. He has had some egg and seems ok with it. Eats pretty well for a ten month old.

I struggle to express and really don't fancy that option.

Our DD1 went onto Pepti (now made by Aptamil) which she didn't really take to at all until she was nearly a year old and then it became her favourite thing ever. In the interim, I fretted and fretted about calcium and fed her lots of eggs, as well as introducing extra night feeds. I didn't realise that you can be prescribed calcium syrup for LOs, which, when I got it, was such a weight off my mind it transformed our lives (no understatement).
