CMPA mums...what do you snack on???

[LuchaGarcia]

I've gone dairy and soya free, but I feel my calorie intake is nowhere near enough and thus has affected my supply. Having to now top DD up with formula due to poor weight gain. Please tell me what you eat!

Can you snack on nuts, fresh coconut chunks, toast with a nut butter? May be fit in a bowl of instant oats with in Barista oatly? It's thick n "creamy"

Same here plus I am vegan so more restrictions to my diet. I eat nuts, cereal bars (there are some you can eat), crisps (loads are vegan and soya free once you start looking), vegan chocolate (Galaxy and NoMo are my favourites), biscuits (again have a look, there are more than you first realise like bourbons and ginger nuts). We had the same issues with weight gain, I now eat lots of fatty foods like houmous and avocados and add oil to everything. It worked for us but it was a long, stressful road. Good luck OP.

My lo doesn't have cmpa but the mw recommended nuts and apricots to boost supply.
Could you make flapjack with q butter alternative?

I’m on my second child with this problem. First time I really ran into problems with food intake/exhaustion/supply around the four month mark. I’m eating a huge amount of food at the moment and it’s just about enough. I am only slim before you read about the food below.

I eat vegan cheese, put it on as much food as possible. Violife and applewood smokes are dairy and soya free
Cake you really can’t eat too much. Home made oat biscuits, mince pies, anything. If you are not a baker use the Betty Crocker mixes. The devils food cake, chocolate cake, chocolate brownies are dairy soya free. If you are also egg free make the cake some up with 2 small tins of cola per box and the brownies with 1 small tin of cola
Always eat pudding or pudding as a snack. An easy crumble is a tin of pears, tin of raspberries and then put the crumble topping on.
Coconut collaborative do great chocolate pot 100 calories a pot.
Eat stodgy food. I had veg stew for dinner and ate 5 dumplings. Breakfast is often an almost entire batch of pancakes or drop scones. Toast although locally it can be difficult to find bread without soya
Often I need 2 plates to fit my dinner on and every time I sit down to feed I eat and drink.

Have a cooked lunch. Sausage sandwich/toasted sandwich add mayo and all those things you usually avoid because they are fatty.
Coop Bakewell tarts, jam donuts, some of the pork pies are ok Mrs crimbles coconut jam rings. Asda free from ice cream. Jus-rol frozen croissants but I wasn’t keen. Asda do a soya free chow mien sauce and the free from orange chocolate is rather good and only 45p a bar.

The pizza counter in Morrisons will make up dairy free pizza for you.
