i dont usually post, in fact dd just turned one so when i did post it was on 6-12m board. anyway, dd has milk, egg, and nut allergies. she was diagnosed about 4m ago. i just feel like i am running out of ideas for finger foods. she eats all the obvious pasta, meat, fruit, bread, veggies, cookies, etc.. but i am looking for more "meals" or more calorie dense foods. she is very small and pedi wants us to get more weight on her. i add olive oil to her pasta sometimes and she loves it. she also eats alot of spagetti. any other ideas? she CAN have soy and drinks soy milk and i am weaning bfing with her.

You can try using Parkay Squeze "butter" on the veggies to add some calories. It is soy based and dairy free. Van's waffels are something that you may be able to do. Other than that I can't think of anything to add to your list. We have a really difficult time trying to come up with meals here and our DD doesn't have the milk issue that your DD does.

My nephew has all those allergies and more.  He eats lots of marshmallow candies..also Ian's is a line of frozen foods for kids with allergies.

DN eats LOTS of salmon, broccoli, guacamole and potato chips.  Also there is some soy ice cream that is pretty good.

My DD has egg and dairy allergies.  One thing that helped a lot with trying to get calorie dense food is sunbutter.  It's like peanut butter but made with sunflower seeds.  It has all the good fats of peanut butter.  She has it basically every day as part of her breakfast and loves it.  Another thing I do a lot is have my husband grill turkey burgers and I freeze them and then pull them out one at a time.  She loves them with some ketchup.

Check with vegan foods, any health food store will have lots of egg & milk free products.
