Calcium for a 6m old?

How can I increase my baby's calcium intake aside from his milk of course! Cheese and yoghurt are both okay, yes? Any other foods I can give him?

Any stalky vegetables - e.g. brocolli, cauliflower. Baked beans, white bread, fortified breakfast cereals (look on the packet). Cashew nuts (but not for baby). Sesame seeds and tahini paste (can make humous with canned chick peas, tahini and lemon juice).

If you ask your health visitor she should be able to get you a calcium foods sheet from the dietician.

My children are both dairy allergic and so have had to rely on other calcium containing foods (although I now give them a calcium supplement). They are both extremely tall, healthy children!
