Books for toddler food-milk allergy

Nicolewinsbingo · March 2013

Hi,

I am new to this particular board. My 11 month old son has a milk intolerance. His doctor is very laid back about it and we've never had any tests or anything done. I suspected a dairy intolerance when he was only a few weeks old because we had green slimy poops (sorry TMI) but I didn't know for sure and the doctor wasn't concerned. She finally diagnosed it when he had a couple of diapers with visible blood in them. I am still breastfeeding. I don't drink milk or eat much dairy but he seems to do okay with me eating occasional dairy.

So now he is pretty much eating all table foods and I'm having a hard time thinking of things to make him! Does anyone know of any books or websites that has recipes and menu ideas for dairy sensitive kids? Every book I read about kids food has dairy in every single recipe, whether its milk, cheese, yogurt, etc.

We do have rice milk and I found a very weird cheese knock off with no dairy, but its kind of gross. I am still looking for dairy free yogurt.

Here's a good blog with dairy free recipes/info: https://milkallergymom.blogspot.com/

I've found it pretty easy to make foods for my son, who is very allergic to dairy. We stick to the basics, which has made all of us eat healthier, and if so

Not sure if you have a Whole Foods near you, but they have an almond milk yogurt that is pretty good. DD rejected the coconut milk and soy versions but really liked the almond milk one. www.godairyfree.com and weelicious.com are good sites for dairy
