We have been doing BLW with my 6.5 month old. He is doing really well with finger foods, but at breakfast time he seems obsessed with my bowl of food rather than his own meal. All other meals no issue as he can usually have something off our plate, clearly the bowl of food is just too intriguing!
I tried making him some porridge and also some weetabix with my expressed milk, he isn't impressed with it at all. He does however shove his spoon in to my weetabix and will happily munch away at that if I let him. Mine is made with Hazelnut milk because I don't have dairy as dairy in my breastmilk flares up his eczema.
Would it be ok for me to use hazelnut or almond milk to give him some weetabix a few times a week? I'm not replacing any of his feeds with alternatives of course and he still has a breastfeed about 8 times during the day and 2-3 at night, so I don't think he would be missing out on nutrients, I think he just prefers it.
I know the advice is not to replace milks with alternatives and just use formula or breastmilk, but I assume that is for actual bottles/large quantities and a little bit of alternative milk would be ok on half a weetabix for him?
