First, I agree with the others to check that food diary with a fine tooth comb. Not only does margarine have dairy, so does non dairy creamers and soy cheese! Remind the mother that soy is also a very common food to be allergic to. I specialize in vegetarian nutrition and have found many folks become sensitive to soy once they start using much more of it. This is one reason to not totally switch to the soy ABM. Re: kindercal- I have a question- how to the cals per ml compare between kindercal and hindmilk? Would marathon nursing sessions give the kid as many Kcals as the supplement? Carol M. Coughlin, RD Your Favorite Dietitian
