Anyones LO on soya milk for lactose intolerance?
We have recently been weaning DD off formula, since she is now 14 months. She developed secondary lactose intolerance at the end of last year after a very nasty bout of gastro, and was on a lactose free formula as of then, which worked great for us. I have some general questions for those who are weaning toddlers onto non-dairy milks if thats OK?
There are so many on the market, can anybody recommend a brand available here that covers all the nutritional bases? I has giving her Waitrose organic, before realising organic obviously means unfortified, so there was no added calcium, vitamins etc. We have since switched to the non-organic which IS fortified, but still says 'not suitable for children under 2' on the side. Im guessing this is because the fat content isn't as high as some of the ones specifically designed for LO's? (that tend to have added soya oil). Do you think this matters since DD can handle small amounts of certain dairy yoghurts and cheese daily, so would be getting extra fats and calcium from there?
I want to ideally have her on a fortified soya milk suitable for toddlers, like the Alpro soya 1+ available in the UK (higher calorie content than the milk we currently have). Can anyone recommend anything similar available locally?
Also, anybody worried about the 'soya overload' studies that have been done? I know a lot have been discredited, and no human studies have been conducted as far as i could see. I have done so much reading this weekend i feel like i've ready myself round in circles! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
