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.

    • this is awful - who would hard such defenceless animals 😞 
    • I don't know if you found someone in the end but I used home tales for my ground floor and loft and they were excellent. Much cheaper than the alternative (I got a RIBA quote and it was high). I used their builder too, also excellent x  www.hometales.co.uk
    • We buy oil from Russia (indirectly), we've been arming the Saudis in Yemen for years, where the civil war has brought about famine, we cut our aid abroad, which means less humanitarian help in places like Sudan, we sell whole swathes of our institutions and businesses to China and are letting them build a new embassy and overlook their spy network, so we can make deals, in spite of its mass murder of the Uyghurs. So we could protest these atrocities, because we're complicit in them, but it's not fashionable.  What do we get in exchange for selling 15% of the parts that go into Israel's F35's? Intelligence from probably the best security service in the world, which helps foil terrorist plots on UK soil, like the one back in May. It's not like we're sending them RPGs in the mail.  This isn't whatabouttery, it's just to highlight that it's never as binary as there being an all-out goodie and and all-out baddie.  What is wrong is calling for the eradication of a race, whatever race that might be, and sharing a platform with those racist protagonists, whether it's pro palestine groups, or the EDL. If everyone on here is so distraught about Palestine, why has there not been a single march against Hamas?  Everyone making their case for protesting here seems to think some of us are living under a rock or, worse still, aren't moved by the situation in Gaza.
