Hi all


I'm going back to work next week and my 8 month old refuses formula (soy formula). She is intolerant to dairy.


Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can give her? Are the soya yoghurts okay for babies? Or alpro soya deserts? Just worried about her calcium needs.


She is still breastfed.

would she take expressed milk? (could you bear to express)

I guess it depends on how many days you are doing, how long your days are etc? I think my son was down to one daytime feed by then along with the morning and evening so presumably you can still do 1st thing and last thing?

sorry that's not very useful

Dried fruit good too.oat milk is low calorie, but high in calcium.not ideal from calories perspective, but if lo piling in otherwise should be fine.my lo loves it (even though she is tiny,it's better than spooning a supplement into her).you can get liquid calcium on prescription-my dietitian wrote to gp asking for them to prescribe-worth a call to lo's dietitian-they also have all kinds of helpful leaflets with calcium sources.good luck.

My LO has goats milk and has enjoyed it for months now. It is pricey but worth it. He also has and enjoys soya yogurts.


It's great to learn about sardines and oat milk.


Shaunag - Is the Oatly oat milk ok for babies? Which one do you use for your LO? Also good to know about the liquid calcium.

    • Holding noisy disruptive events in the middle of the public examinations period - GCSE's and A Levels - is not helpful for local children who will likely be stressed already. 
    • It's a great suggestion to contact other companies and perhaps get a better quote.   Fancy implying that ONLY those with direct, specific and qualified opinions can post. That would change the entire EDF - with very little responses to any post. You can search online for reviews of secondary glazing and see what customers have said (Trustpilot)
    • That's a great solution, but not really practical for a second floor windowsill! I tried many things, spiky wires sticking out to deter them from landing, the widest cage available (pictured), but they would still descend, scaring off all the small songbirds, cram their heads through the cage and devour all the food. I was metaphorically tearing my hair out so, combined with the worries about spreading disease, I had to call it a day. Very sad.
    • Plus it is pure hypocrisy from the council, who pontificate about cleaner, greener, spaces, but then throw that out of the window for a bit of cash from a disruptive event.  I will raise this with them. I will point out to them that whether their event takes place or not is of as little consequence too 😉 Because they are public servants paid for by our taxes. It's the whole reason FOI exists. We have a right to know certain things.
