For the dietitians and nutritionally aware lactnetters:
I have permission to post about this case. Mother of a 12 month old nursing
infant with allergy to cow's milk protein and eggs wonders about her child
having a high enough fat intake. Baby nurses 4-8 times per day and drinks
soy milk from a cup at mealtime. As mother's prior children were drinking
whole milk and eating cheese at this age, she is concerned as to rather baby
is getting sufficient fat intake for nervous system development, etc. Baby
eats a variety of vegetables, grains and meats. Baby is generally
thriving--a friend's advice has caused the concern.
TIA for any input.
