Thanks again Barb. I'm relieved to know that the milk in his food counts towards the total volume. I've had a look at the ABA website at the article on lactose intolerance which was an interesting read. The paed dietician has been giving advice on introducing gluten. We are doing that close to 6 months using weet bix and whilst I am still BM feeding. She has asked me to do it a tad prior to 6 months because I'm EE and she wants to get it in whilst I"m definitely still BM feeding. Coeliac disease is one of her speciality areas.
