    Tbh I hadn't thought of that! Thanks for the idea!
    Do you need a referral to see one?
    I'm off to do some googling now lol, if we can get someone to see him sooner to help see if there are in fact any allergies/intolerances then I will definitely be taking him!

    Just bear in mind that opinions differ on whether naturopaths are able to accurately determine allergies. I'm personally undecided, so not having a go at them.

    I use rice milk (quite like the one with chickpeas in it - a bit creamier and not so sweet). We also use nuttelex and I prefer the olive one. You get used to them in most things. Don't forget to eat enough fat from other sources. There are a few threads on here with food ideas. My DS has had rice milk since he was 11 months old.

    ds is just over 19 months and also breastfeeds on demand. I think he's still getting loads of breast milk and I have never given him cows milk. He doesn't have any milk as snacks actually. He has goats milk yoghurt every now again. I love oat milk, I cook with it too even for muffins, pancakes and in my home made bread etc. Eventually I will give him oat milk, I don't see a problem with it. Following on from that I will slowly introduce raw milk and home made yoghurt made with the raw milk too. Nuttelex is great as there are vegan cheeses out there, check what your local health food store stocks. I think a probiotic is important if you think there are food intolerance, maybe ask the naturopath about that too.
