Best alternatives

My dietician mentioned using coconut, almond, soya and oat milk and yoghurt alternatives, but didn’t give me any specific brands to use or avoid. I’m getting confused with the ingredients on some- for example Alpro coco milk has rice in? Is this rice milk, as I know babies can’t have it? Can anyone recommend some good branded or supermarket own products in the alternatives lines please? Should add- this is for my 7 month old, not myself!

I use Moma as this was recommended by my son’s dietician. She did suggest the Alpro oat growing up milk but it’s very expensive in the long run and I couldn’t keep up with it as a single mum. She said the second based (based on calorie content & fortified vitamins as my son isn’t gaining weight) was the Moma milks. We were told not to try soya as the protein was very similar to cows milk and would likely cause a reaction (but I guess depends on severity of symptoms?). I was also too wimp to try almond as he had a bit of a reaction to peanut butter when weaning. Costco usually sell a crate of 6 x 1L Moma for £7 but they currently have it for £5.99 for the 6 bottles so I’ve bought four crates to last us a few weeks 😂. My boy goes through a 1L carton like every 2/2.5 days 😂 xx

We use Alpro growing up oat milk x

We used the Oatly greek yoghurt as it doesn't have any milk or soy. I found lots of the oat yoghurts also have soy in which we needed to avoid but you may find your LO is ok with soy. Of that's the case you will have more options what to buy. Milk I just get Tesco oat milk as it's not for drinking as is yet (under 1), just cooking into things.
