I need more calcium.....

[Poll32]

Hi,
I am now five months and I need more calcium. I hate drinking milk as it stands - I don't mind it in cereal as the taste is disguised. I have gone right off most yoghurts, I don't like custard or rice pudding and I am allergic to cheese..... does anyone know any other sources?
Thanks!

are you being advised by your doctor to have more calcium or are you just deciding that you must need more?
not having a go, just wondering

what about milkshakes?

Black strap molasses and sesame seeds are both good sources of calcium. Sesame paste (tahini) is lovely on toast! Loads of iron in Black strap molasses too, which is a bonus.

But, make sure your getting enough vitamin D, it's essential for good calcium absorption.

Thanks
