Breakfast ideas please, gluten free and dairy free for four mnth old (please read OP before you hang me for early weaning)

[Peachy]

DS4 is being weaned at 18 weeks on advice of his Paediatrician

It is not a decision I would have made otherwise, having planned to follow BLW< but I feel I need to follow the advice given.

Now, having cleared that - any ideas please? have sopme millet porridge being prepared as a trial, but it takes half an hour, which s a no go when the boys are back to school!

With the others I used a packet cereal, but all the GF ones I can find now are not DF.

gf toast much easier to suck on than non GF toast as well.....especially if made with EnerG rice bread.

same with Salute GF pasta

lacksa he didnt grow for first month, then dx'd casein intol, grew on 0.4th centile but has stopped again, they want to compare to what happened with his brothers. I have largely accepted my milk is a bit shite (and I emphasise have bf training so know how very rare that is) but hope it will be ok as a drink, ff not an option as he won't take it full stop

misdee- we used the organix wth ds3 but I can't find it now. Maybe boots will have that too

gosh sounds like you have had a rough time of it

I hope things get better for him.

oh he's ok, happy little lad meeting all milestones, long but just skinny

much the same as the others were tbh

tesco have some of the stuff.

but havent seen the jarred stuff for mayyears, not since dd2 was ababy.

they are gorgeous boys by the way

sainsbury's do baby organix, but I think boots own organic brand will have a few GF/DF options.

stockists

wonder if you can mail order the stuff?

I have been racking my brains to try and remember how and what I weaned DS2 onto aswell.....he was dairy and gluten-free until he was three.

I know I did the avocado and banana mush for him aswell, but he had other stuff....jars and mine too.

baby organix used to do a fab free-from ranage, banana porridge IIRC, but I have a feeling they stuck milk in it just as he was going over to lumpy stuff.

I used to soak rice crispies in my milk for a while too, until I could really really mash them down....warming the milk helps.

erm.....baby rice mixed with milk and fruit is a good back up plan, if they will take it.

I have a feeling I could also get gluten-free rusks that I used to warm with my milk too??? will go have a look.....

yup....farleys do a gluten free one, but tesco won;t let me see the ingrediants to see if it is also dairy-free......arses!!!

oh peachy what a worry for you. glad he's ok though. it is odd the breastmilk thing isn't it, ds's nappies were always full of mucus when solely breastfed, even with dairy and gluten exclusions in my diet, and dd's poos muxousy now so have cut out dairy again. don't know what it is all about. with ds at almost six months after lots of pressure from paed i started mixing neocate formula with a bit of baby rice, as he would not take it straight, and tho kept on breastfeeding it seemed to sort him out.

Banana Porridge Cereal
120g
Ingredients :
Organic Rice Flakes (49%), Organic Banana Flakes (35%), Orgnaic Oat Flakes (16%), Thiamin (vitamin B1), (less than 1%)

am really out of touch.

organix do a banana dry porridge that is gluten and dairy free, if that helps

misdee....I am as out of touch. DS2 is 6yo now!

Organic Banana Puree (55%), Water (34%), Organic Ground Rice (5%), Organic Lemon Juice (5%), Organic Ground Maize (1%)

jarred ingrediants

lol, dd2 is 6 in a few weeks.

she was GF as it would leave her in terrible pain, screaming and vomiting.

she didnt take to GF bread, so never had it after the first two loaves.

baby organix site

not sure if this will help at all. it has some recipes, but looking at them briefly they don;t seem to have much in the way of -free-from recipes IYGWIM.

are you going to be able to feed him soya yoghurts at all, or are you having to also avoid soya???

I gave up on buying the gluten free bread and made my own in the end, in a bread maker. made a HUGE difference to his eating after that.

i think i may have been looking at an outdated site

so sory!

he can have soya- well i pray he can!

thanks lacksa they are gorgeous- but just updated as some were so old!

I'll say this and then go away. Your milk is not shit - it's just that your babies are long and thin. If they are happy and smiling and hitting their milestones and peeing and pooing and sleeping and doing all the things that babies should do they are absolutely fine. There is no food in the world that is better for your under 6 month old baby than your milk. It is entirely possible that a paediatrician can be wrong about this - and if she has the care of your other children she would be hugely unprofessional if that care changed because you challenge her judgement about your baby.
Rant over - I'm leaving now!

Seeker, I appreciate yopur honesty- thanks

seeker what about if your baby has three month's worth of blood streaked mucous nappies and is solely breastfed and you have cut out dairy, nuts/seeds and gluten? I'm an extended breastfeeder but never got to the bottom of ds's problem when solely breastfed unfortunately. [sorry for hijack]

if he can have soya, then alpro do very nice desserts and smooth yoghurts that you could probably use in some breaky type way.

I like them....I am dairy allergic, so have to eat them, and the vanilla one tastes of white chocolate!
