Fortifying foods after toddler’s growth faltered - any experience?

Our DS has multiple food allergies including dairy, egg and soya. We’ve been under the community dietitian while waiting for an allergy consultant appointment but all visits have been online and he hasn’t been weighed. I weighed him after the last appointment this week aged 23 months and he was only 750g more than he was when the HV weighed him at 11 months. So he has put on less than a kilogram in a year! Obviously we are very concerned. Dietitian has recommended trying to ‘fortify’ his safe foods with stuff like Oatly cream, and oil. Has anyone else done this and did it work for you? How quickly did your little one manage to gain weight after you started this? Thanks for sharing any experiences.

Hi sorry I don’t have any advice about weight
my 19mo DS also has dairy and egg allergy but he’s always been on the chunky side . But I would advise you move this post over to the allergies and intolerances topic you’ll probably get loads of good advice that way x
