Baby food for milk allergy

[Lollypopzmummy]

Anyone got any good recipes? She's only 6 months old but I'd like to start practicing some lovelinesses for when she's well into eating. Any recipes stage 1/2/3 I can get practicing and by the time she's properly eating them I'll be a pro
Thanks x

Is she on formula? Or soya milk? There ws a thread on here a while ago, about making yoghurt from formula.

I follow any recipe but substitute butter or marg for a dairy free I use pure sunflower myself find it an ok flavour, rice milk etc is good in cooking if for whole family or use babies formula for her. I used milk problems as good excuse to pack meals out with fruit & veg both my children now eat wide variety my son also loves soya yoghurts etc just remember to check all packages etc milk can be found in weirdest of things e.g. ham or chicken gravy. Often cheaper packet etc less chance of containing milk.

She's on Neutramigen 1 (glucose formula)
Got a list of all the Hipp baby products in her latest Bounty pack and there's not a lot in stage 2/3 that she can have, find that .

Thanks busymum1, I've done a couple of purees with her milk, she pulls some aweful faces whilst eating it (or blows out as I put the spoon in her mouth, lovely child! ), I thought all spreads were milk based, will have to read the packs and dig one out that's not.

Pure is the only widely available non-dairy spread. We used the sunflower one (yellow carton) until dd outgrew her intolerance.

Surely you make food for yourself every day, so why do you need practice just to substitute pure for butter and rice milk for cows' milk?

Just remembered that Vitalite is dairy free too, as long as you're not also avoiding soya.

Cos I understand that her tastes aren't the same as mine. . . I love strong flavours so eat a lot of things like curry (and am pretty sure she wont be too happy if I whip up a curry for her, pureed or otherwise! )

I'm a bit obsessive compulsive and like to be prepared (I like to make sure that I know what I'm doing before I make something so practice almost everything I do when I have spare time, if it's any good it gets frozen or used for dinner that night!) and, at the moment, I don't make anything that I think she'd like (e.g: have only recently started making an apple/rice concoction for her, but that's it so far!)

Anywho, thanks for dairy free spread tip x

also meant to say got really useful book from dietitian which lists all milk free foods from major brands or supermarkets or ask in your favourite supermarket if they got current lists of foods. My kids both love curry can get free from milk pastes or make from scratch as normal. Stage 1 I tended to use fruit & veg as know this will not contain milk, pasta by Annabelle Karmel is great at stage 2 adds tiny little stars or shells buy mine in boots takes five minutes in boiling water use this if we havin meal youngest can't eat loves it just with pureed tomatoes etc then don't feel guilty if our meal not suitable. Stage 3 eats near enough same meals as us my family don't even notice change of milk or marg unless they know then moan but normally say will seperate next time and use our milk and butter for us but never do

lol I've always wondered about the psychological theories behind children's eating habits etc
A friend recently told me that, with LO's, you should try every food 13 times before knowing that the child doesn't like it, we found out recently, through this, that DD1 does actually like egg yolk!

My mum used to say that if she cut up onions really small then I wouldn't npotice and she'd get away with it (didn't have a blender back in those days) but I did, just by the time she'd figured out that you could grate onion I'd just got sick of arguing with her about it! lol

I've ordered some soya milk and shall be experimanting with how that tastes in my cooking (and see if DH notices! ).
Also, my friend gave me Gillian McKeith's book and there's some lovely recipes in there (it's a very anti-dairy anti-bad fats diet) so will be trying those this weekend too, wish me luck! x
