Seeking high fat, high calorie foods for toddler with multiple allergies

in Food Allergy
My 11 month old daughter has multiple food allergies - dairy, soy, stone fruit (avocado, cherries, plums etc.), and lemon (but not orange or other citrus). There's also a lot we haven't tried yet - fish, shellfish, nuts, eggs, coconut,etc.
Anyway, she's underweight. She's still on breastmilk, but when we give her food, we need to make sure it's high in both calories and fat. We're seeing a nutritionist but the appointment isn't for another month. In the meantime can anyone recommend some good foods to try? Either pureed or finger foods.All the lists I've found online have been things she can't eat, like avocado and butter.

We put olive oil on everything (pasta, veggies, etc) when my twins (dairy, peanut, and soy at the time) were about that age and switching fully to solids. Also, I would make meatloaf or "beef" stew (with full fat ground beef).
If you do want to try coconut...coconut oil is good to mix into things, you could add it to rice milk yogurt or coconut milk yogurt.
My friend would just feed her LO a spoonful of coconut oil. I agree with PP, add coconut or olive oil to everything.
Also sunbutter (made from sunflower seeds) is great too. Concentrate on fats, proteins and complex carbs.

Never in my arms, but always in my heart.
I agree with a lot of the other responses on here....
Oils are helpful- we give DS pasta salad made with either canola or veggie oil often- make sure the pasta is safe from soy though
Coconut is high calorie high fat
Sunbutter is really good
You can flavor potatoes with chicken broth- I know it's not fattening, but a good food for LOs
And look into dairy free options of things too... I once ordered something from a nut free company, and they sent me "cheesy" potatoes made with a dairy replacement rather than cheese with it to try.
Bananas are healthy, but I think they have a decent amount of calories and some fat to them too. Not high fat, but a yummy option.
