if he wont drink it but drinks water happily can you look into calcium supplements instead
if there is no other option for milk he will drink]]> Mon, 04 Jul 2011 18:07:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39473&PID=1357580&title=coming-off-formula#1357580 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39473&PID=1353918&title=coming-off-formula#1353918 Author: SpecialK

Also tinned salmon and sardines are really good for calcium, just mash up all the bones as well and put it in pasta/fish cakes.

And - my DS wasn't lactose intolerant but hated the taste of cow's milk, so we just slowly got him to have mixed bottles. So on the first week he had 100ml formula and 50ml cow's milk, second week he had 50ml formula and 100ml cow's milk, and then all cow's milk. Might be worth a shot?

Oh and - my DD is currently on lactose free formula (I so sympathise with the $$, ouchy!) but today I found lactose fee milk. Still expensive, about $4 a litre but that might also be worth a try?

Brussel sprouts have loads of vitamins in them as well, puree them up & hide them in foods]]> Sat, 25 Jun 2011 14:04:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39473&PID=1352875&title=coming-off-formula#1352875 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39473&PID=1352674&title=coming-off-formula#1352674 Author: Shelt

I happened to be talking to a nutritionalist about something the other week and this came up (my DD doesn't drink milk, she only has it on cereal). She said there is no reason kids need to get calcium from milk if they eat veges etc with calcium in them. They absorb the calcium better from plant products anyway. Brocolli, spinach, oranges and seasame seeds/oil all contain calcium. This link talks about calcium from veges Link

If he really doesn't like the taste of the other types of milk and you don't want to continue buying the formula, as long as he gets the fruit/veg containing calcium he won't be missing out.

ETA to fix link

Could you slowly wean him onto the alternative? So just put 10 mls in the first time (so its a gradual taste change rahter than a big shock?) It mgiht work?
Otherwise I woudl have a chat to your GP/pead about it, if theyve diagnosed him as lactose free then it should be free/subsidised? (I dont know tho, just going off the bits Ive been told with DDs allergies, but shes not on formula so havnt taken much notice sorry!)]]> Fri, 24 Jun 2011 10:10:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39473&PID=1352311&title=coming-off-formula#1352311 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39473&PID=1352175&title=coming-off-formula#1352175 Author: MissAngel

Well he hates them all! I snuck the lactose free UHT and oat milk into his cup without him seeing, i've tried mixing milo with it, i've even made him a cup of tea with it but no! argh.. Do they subsidise any lactose free formulas? this is mental. ]]> Thu, 23 Jun 2011 22:16:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39473&PID=1352175&title=coming-off-formula#1352175 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39473&PID=1341829&title=coming-off-formula#1341829 Author: yermasyada

If you're just worried about him getting calcium start feeding him tahini as a spread. Hummus has it (tahini) in it too so that adds a bit of variety and almonds also have calcium in them.]]> Tue, 07 Jun 2011 16:04:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39473&PID=1341785&title=coming-off-formula#1341785 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39473&PID=1341682&title=coming-off-formula#1341682 Author: MissAngel

Tried Oat milk. It's way nicer than soy or rice milk.

have you also tried the lactose free milk in the tetra packs? (same shelves as the rice/soy milks)]]> Tue, 07 Jun 2011 13:36:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39473&PID=1341674&title=coming-off-formula#1341674 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=39473&PID=1341641&title=coming-off-formula#1341641 Author: MissAngel

Okay, so both my kids are heavily lactose intollerant. They currently have the s26 lactose free stuff, which costs me an arm and both legs ;) I've tried Thomas on soy/rice milk, which he drinks and vomits back up. What do I do? He's 3 and 'should' be off formula now! He'll drink water happily, but yea, he still should be having the calcium etc in the milk shouldnt he? I'm really stuck! I MADE him have the soy/rice ones cuz I thought he was just being a pain in the arse, but turns out he really really hated them (oh and he never saw the containers so he didnt know it wasnt his formula iykwim). Is there something else he can have? I'm having trouble with the cost of 2 tins of this stuff a week!
